  abstract = {Dielectric spectroscopy was employed to study the effects of water
	on the primary alpha-relaxation and the secondary beta-relaxation
	of xylitol. The measurements were made on anhydrous xylitol and
	mixtures of xylitol with water with three different water concentrations
	over a temperature range from 173 K to 293 K. The alpha-relaxation
	speeds up with increasing concentration of water in xylitol, whereas
	the rate of the beta-relaxation is essentially unchanged. Some systematic
	differences in the behavior of alpha-relaxation for anhydrous xylitol
	and the mixtures were observed. Our findings confirm all the observations
	of Nozaki et al. [R. Nozaki, H. Zenitani, A. Minoguchi, and K. Kitai,
	J. Non-Cryst. Solids 307, 349 (2002)] in sorbitol/water mixtures.
	Effects of water on both the alpha- and beta-relaxation dynamics
	in xylitol and sorbitol are explained by using the coupling model.},
