Understanding the behaviour of nanoscale systems is of great importance to tailor their properties. To this aim, we investigate the Young's modulus (YM) of defect-free and defective armchair bilayer silicene nanoribbons (SNRs), at room temperature, as a function of length and distance between layers. In this study, we perform molecular dynamics simulations using the environment-dependent interatomic potential to describe the interaction of the Si atoms.

This paper reports the effect of the operation and design characteristics of rotating drum bioreactors (RDBs) aerated by natural convection and applied to the treatment of a soil highly polluted with weathered total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) (55,000 +/- 2,600 mg/kg). The parameters studied were length to diameter ratio (L/D), rotating speed (N) and lifter type. The highest TPH removal (59.
