For the Irish trade union, see Irish Municipal, Public and Civil Trade Union . IMPACT International Multi user Plasma physics Plasma , Atmospheric and Cosmic dust Twin laboratory is a successful merger of many different science communities that need similar instrumentation and resources. IMPACT is a merger of IMPF International Microgravity Plasma Facility and ICAPS Interactions in universe Cosmic and Atmospheric Particle Systems , originally conceived as two separate experimental facilities, both with their own development history. In May 2002, the dedicated scientific advisory boards for the IMPF and ICPAS recommended the combination of the two experiments into one ESA research laboratory. Both projects share hardware, space station accommodation and operations, and data processing and downloading functions in common. By consolidating these systems into a single laboratory significant reductions have been made to the overall project cost, by eliminating the duplication of expensive development, manufacturing, and qualification tasks. Scientific Goals IMPACT will be designed to serve a wide range of scientific areas. Ranging from Plasma physics plasma physics to atmospheric physics and dust particle physics . Items that will be studied are Complex Plasma physics plasmas both radio frequency RF and direct current DC controlled in the strongly coupled regime, when electrostatic forces between particles are much stronger than any thermal effects.

Infobox font name image Impact font.svg style Sans serif prop Proportional creationdate 1965 creator Geoffrey Lee foundry Stephenson Blake Impact is a realist sans serif typeface designed by Geoffrey Lee in 1965 and released by the Stephenson Blake foundry. Its ultra thick strokes, compressed letterspacing, and minimal interior counterform are specifically aimed, as its name suggests, to impact . Impact has a high x height , reaching nearly to three quarters the capital line. Ascenders are short, and descenders even shorter. The face is intended for headlines and has only limited use in text applications. The face bears comparison with the similarly designed, but narrower, typeface Haettenschweiler , the Letraset face Compacta typeface Compacta , and the Linotype face Helvetica Inserat.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Policy Debate In policy debate , impact calculus is a type of argumentation which seeks to compare the impacts presented by both teams. Basic impact calculus There are three basic types of impact calculus that compare the impacts of the plan to the impacts of a disadvantage Probability one impact is more likely e.g. Economic collapse is more probable than an outbreak of grey goo , therefore the risk of economic collapse outweighs the risk of a grey goo disaster. Timeframe one impact will happen faster e.g. An asteroid impact will cause extinction before Global warming will, therefore an asteroid impact outweighs Global Warming. Magnitude one impact is bigger e.g. Nuclear war kills more people than car accidents. Other types of impact calculus Some other more sophisticated arguments are also considered impact calculus Impact inclusivity one impact is inclusive of the other e.g. Global war is inclusive of a Taiwan war, therefore global war outweighs Taiwan war. X creates Y one impact causes the other impact to happen e.g. War causes genocide, therefore war outweighs genocide Internal link shortcircuiting one impact prevents a positive impact from happening e.g. Nuclear war halts space colonization, therefore nuclear war outweighs space colonization Reversibility e.g. Civil liberties lost in the name of security during a time of crisis can be restored later, but deaths caused by a lack of security are irreversible.

Image Craterstructure.gif thumb right 250px Impact crater structure The term impact structure is closely related to the terms impact crater or meteorite impact crater , and is used in cases where erosion or burial have destroyed or masked the original topographic feature with which we normally associate the term crater .
