Is it good practice to have outlets on different floors on the same circuit?

The answer is no, not generally. All that means is I wouldn't do it that way.
It all depends on how much you want to go out if that circuit trips. Having outlets on different circuits isn't as important as having lighting on different circuits. If a lighting circuit trips, and in a home the lighting and outlets share circuits, you don't want every room on that floor to be dark.
So you might consider wiring a room on one floor on the same circuit as the room above or below. That's fine. But if there are 4 rooms in close proximity on the same floor, I wouldn't put all the lighting on one circuit, even though that is an acceptable installation.

When taking power from one phase of a 240 Volt circuit to make a 15A 120 Volt circuit how do you fuse the new circuit?
Don't do this! The fuses and breakers on a 240 Volt circuit should be left as they are, to supply 240 Volt appliances and nothing else. It is only safe to install a new 120 volt circuit by fitting a new 15 Amp breaker and run new wiring of the correct size for the length of run, all the way from the breaker panel to the new 120 Volt socket outlet.Before you do this you must check the wiring code for your locality (town/state) to be sure you know if the new circuit needs a protective device such as a GFCI or RCD.In most places a GFCI or RCD will be mandatory if the new socket outlet is to be installed in a place that is likely to be subject to water spray, wet or damp floors, walls or ceilings. This includes kitchens, bathrooms or shower rooms, or anywhere outside the building such as pool areas. As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
Costs of electric floor heating?
One type of heating for the floors that is a bit less expensive is the geothermal heating. These pumps rely on water pipes that are layed in the subfloor and when water moves through them the heat (or cold for that matter) radiates to the tiles above and generates heat or cooling.
What is interconnect modeling in VLSI?
Building an IC chip (about the size of a fingernail) is like building a multi-storey building. The first floor contains about a billion semiconductor transistors (referred to as "devices"), and the upper floors contain the metal wires that interconnect the terminals of the "devices". These metal wires are extremely narrow, and there is a maze of these criss-crossing multi-layered metal wires in an IC chip, interconnecting the transistor "device" terminals on the first floor (they drop down from an upper layer to a lower layer using "vias"). There is a lot of parasitic (ie. unwanted) capacitance (C), resistance (R) and inductance (L) in/among these cross-crossing interconnect wires and vias. These parasitic C, R and L degrade the characteristics of the IC chip. "Interconnect modeling" deals with the modeling of these C, R and L so that they can be accurately considered in predicting/simulating the overall circuit behavior. "Device modeling" on the other hand deals with modeling the behavior of the transistor devices on the first floor.
When is static electricity come used?
Paint spraying cars: the paint particles are given a negative charge, and the car frame is given a positive charge, so the paint sprays out, and sicks to the car, and is attracted to all the hard- to reach areas Electrosatic precipitator; in coal fired power station theses are used to stop the dust particles reaching the atmosphere. Particles of ass pass through a charged grid, and becone charged. They then stick to plated either side of this grid, where they can be disposed of safely Photocopier; A charged drum is in the photocopier. Light is then shone through the paper, and whete ther is no print light hits the drum and it looses its charge. This leaves charge where there needs to be ink. Ink is the pulled onto the charged drum, and transfered onto paper Antistatic floors; to avoid static charges in hospital, the floors are made out of an antistatic material, so no charge can build up.
