49. 10 is the relaxation time for the p = 10 normal mode.
50. Because of the strong connection between dielectric relaxation and the dynamics of the cis allyl and β diherals, results are reported only for these dihedrals. Other dihedrals, e.g., the trans allyl, behaved in a qualitatively similar manner to these.
