A workshop, known as Operation Tomodachi Fire Research was held in Tokyo, Japan from July 1 to July 4, 2012. Tomodachi means friendship in Japanese. This...
Size is a fundamental descriptor of objects it allows us to quantify 'how big' objects are, and to compare and classify objects based on this notion. In the...
