20. An alternative approach is to allow the strong primary relaxation to affect the secondary process. See, for example, A. Arbe, D. Richert, J. Colmenero, and B. Farago, Phys. Rev. E 54, 3853 (1996).
21. Recent measurements of the effect of hydrostatic pressure on the excess wing in various glass formers [S. Hensel-Bielowka and M. Paluch, Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 025704 (2002)] reveal that the pressure dependence of the excess wing is similar to that of the α relaxation. This indicates that although the excess wing is a separate process, it may be strongly coupled to the structural relaxation.
