"The reforms certainly mark the end of the transformation of the armed forces since the end of the Cold War," said Markus Kaim, a defense expert at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs.
(Not shown in Figure 1 is the glass transition temperature, or Tg; this would be located at the lower end of the transformation range).
The intensity of the 841 cm−1 band (n = 12) at the end of the transformation correlates linearly with the degree of crystallinity obtained by WAXD.
The pointy end of the transformation spear is Arthur Cebrowski, who was appointed in October to the new job of advising Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz on ways to prod the military into the new century.
Now an indoor mall on a 90-acre site, built in the 1970's, is nearing the end of its transformation to a fully occupied 900,000-square-foot two-story open-air shopping center.
