Whats the days of sunshine per year in North Carolina?

According to the State Climate Office of North Carolina webpage (http://www.nc-climate.ncsu.edu/climate/ncclimate.html):

"Sunshine is relatively abundant, the average annual percent of possible sunshine ranges from 58 to 65 at the various stations having sunshine recorders. An average of 126 days per year are clear, 117 partly cloudy, and 122 cloudy, while measurable rain falls on 120 days."

Should you cultivate grapevine communication or try to curb its growth?

To curb or cultivate grapevine communication will depend on the type of information that is being passed around. If the communication is putting the company in a negative light, they will want to curb the grapevine. If the grapevine communication is positive, they might let it go and do nothing.

What makes up the circuit?

A circuit requires two fundamental parts in its most elementary state. Which is a source of energy and a load that will convert the energy in to work.

But not all applications with electricity would require work to be done. In the field of digital systems there are a use for electricity to automate the process of decision making and data management. This type of electrical circuits require:

*Input source of data or signal often as part of a HMI (Human Machine Interface).

*Output of data or signal often as part of a HMI.

*Source of electrical energy.

*Logical process.

*Storage of data.

These types of circuits called digital circuits can be combined with other types of electrical circuits to perform tasks for industrial automation, communication, data processing like with computers and calculators.

Most of consumer electronics are made from carefully designed circuits that consist of resistors, capacitors, transistors, integrated circuits, diodes, switches, transducers, transformers and pre-manufactured modules. The complex structures that these devices are applied to, can result in precise and very useful functions for the benefit of humans and nature.

In the design of electrical circuits, the great challenge is to create a perfect and reliable electrical function from imperfect and fragile components.

The design of basic electrical circuits should always challenge features that improve safety, functionality, reliability, economy and energy efficiency.

Another name for characteristics?

* features - most similar to characteristics, tends a bit toward things something can do * properties - usually used to designate the physical and chemical characteristics of some material * qualities - tends toward the characteristics something must have rather than is just likely to have

Are bird feathers good insulators?

The birds think so, even the Penguins!

Down is a very good insulator, for it entraps lots of air compared to its own weight.

With any thermal insulator, what you are buying is still air, because for practical purposes, air is the best insulator.

What is an example of a renewable resource?

Wind and solar energy are examples of renewable resources. There is a (practically) inexhaustible supply of each. Geothermal energy is another, less exploitable source of energy.

Hydroelectric power can be considered renewable in the short term, providing the water is not diverted to other locations. Tidal power is another constantly available form.

Wood, since it is made from trees, can be grown and replenished, but cannot have wide usage to provide energy for modern societies.

What is the advantage of information technology?

information technology is the developing field that can provide huge job offers to the people.anything related to or deal wid datas and how to manage them effectively.a solution to a problem can be provided by the it techniques

Advances in Science n Technology n other areas of society in the last 100 years have transformed the way you live as well as postponing the day you die.Is there no better time to be alive than now?

I think this question is really stupid. Even if we find it better or worse, would we have a chance to change the hand of time ? So instead of going around to ask this, we all have to try to live our lives the best we can
