The forum bar in UK extradition law: an unnecessary failure. (2020)
Journal Article
ARNELL, P. and DAVIES, G. [2020]. The forum bar in UK extradition law: an unnecessary failure. Journal of criminal law [online], (accepted).

The introduction of the forum bar into UK extradition law was unnecessary. It is a failure. It was unnecessary because extant law addressed, or could have addressed, the putative mischief giving rise to it. It is a failure because it admits only limi...

Theoretical and experimental investigations on the combustion characteristics of three components mixed municipal solid waste. (2020)
Journal Article
LIU, X., ASIM, T., ZHU, G. and MISHRA, R. [2020]. Theoretical and experimental investigations on the combustion characteristics of three components mixed municipal solid waste. Fuel [online], (accepted).

The combustion characteristics of mixed municipal solid waste (MMSW) play a vital role in dictating the efficiency of the incineration process. At present, few studies have been reported on combustion characteristics of three components MMSW and the...
