Test of molecular mode coupling theory for general rigid molecules
We report recent progress on the test of mode coupling theory for molecular liquids (MMCT) for molecules of arbitrary shape. The MMCT equations in the long time limit are solved for supercooled water including all molecular degrees of freedom. In contrast to our earlier treatment of water as a linear molecule, we find that the glass-transition temperature ${T}_{c}$ is overestimated by the theory as was found in the case of simple liquids. The nonergodicity parameters are calculated from the ``full'' set of MMCT equations truncated at ${l}_{\mathrm{co}}=2.$ These results are compared (i) with the nonergodicity parameters from MMCT with ${l}_{\mathrm{co}}=2$ in the ``dipole'' approximation ${…
Evidenz-basierte Überprüfung der Therapieempfehlungen bei Epicondylopathia humeri lateralis (Tennisellenbogen) - eine Übersicht
The guidelines of the German Orthopaedic Societies regarding the treatment of lateral elbow epicondylitis were analysed on the ground of recently published reviews or randomised placebo-controlled trials (RCT). For the acute phase, reviews or RCTs failed to show a clinical effect beyond placebo if follow-up was extended over 6 weeks. For the chronic phase a current Cochrane review failed to identify any controlled trial regarding surgical procedures during the last decades. Without an adequate control group, it is not possible to draw any meaningful conclusions about the value of this modality of treatment. Therefore surgery is not indicated before repetitive low-energy extracorporeal shock…

Molecular correlations in a supercooled liquid
We present static and dynamic properties of molecular correlation functions S_{lmn,l'm'n'}(q,t) in a simulated supercooled liquid of water molecules, as a preliminary effort in the direction of solving the molecular mode coupling theory (MMCT) equations for supercooled molecular liquids. The temperature and time dependence of various molecular correlation functions, calculated from 250 ns long molecular dynamics simulations, show the characteristic patterns predicted by MMCT and shed light on the driving mechanism responsible for the slowing down of the molecular dynamics. We also discuss the symmetry properties of the molecular correlation functions which can be predicted on the basis of t…
