	abstract = {The order parameters of a number of different solutes dissolved in a number of different nematic liquid-crystal solvents are measured and compared. It is shown that the order parameters can all be rationalized with the ansatz that there exist two independent ordering mechanisms operating in the liquid crystals employed. With this ansatz it is possible to fit the experimental order parameters to better than 5\%. This opens the possibility of the accurate prediction of order parameters in ordered liquids.

	abstract = {An overview is presented of modern NMR techniques and a variety of experimental and theoretical tools employed in the study of solutes dissolved in liquid crystals. The NMR techniques involve multiple quantum and spectral subtraction methods, In addition, various experimental and theoretical tools are discussed, including: the theoretical background of observed order parameters; the use of,magic mixtures{\textquoteright} to separate orientational contributions; the reorientation-vibration interaction; the use of model calculations based on size and shape of the various solutes; and the use of computer simulations. Applications to the benchmark probe molecules hydrogen, methane, ethane, and butane and their isotopomers are treated. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.},
