Schilling (unit)
As well as being the name of a coin, the Schilling was an historical unit in three areas of measurement: numbers, volume and weight. It can be regarded as a European measure, because it was used in Bohemia, Bavaria, Silesia, Austria and Lusatia. In Bohemian mines it was a measure of volume that corresponded to 5 wheelbarrows. The ''schilling'' was determined as follows: * 1 ''schilling'' = 12 leather skins filled with water = 480 Prague pints * 18 ''schillings'' = 1 quantity (''Losung'') of water In Regensburg the measure was applied to salt. In Bavaria, for example, it was used as a number and a weight. * 1 ''schilling'' salt = 40 'slices' (''Salzscheiben'') * 8 ''schillings'' = 1 ''Pfund'' ("pound") of salt In Austria a ''schilling'' corresponded to the number 30 and in Silesia and Lusatia, the number 12. In the regional dialect it was called a ''Schilger'' in Silesia and a ''Schilger'' or ''Schilk'' in Lusatia. 240 ''pfennigs'' were minted from the 367 g Carolingian pound The ...

Schilling (coin)
The schilling was the name of a coin in various historical European states and which gave its name to the English shilling. The schilling was a former currency in many of the German-speaking states of the Holy Roman Empire, including the Hanseatic city states of Hamburg and Lübeck, the March of Brandenburg, and the Duchies of Bavaria, Mecklenburg, and Württemberg. It was also used in Switzerland and in Austria, where silver schillings were introduced as recently as 1923. History The name schilling was originally given to the minted gold ''solidus'', the late antique successor of the '' aureus''. The coin reform under Charlemagne in 794 established a new silver currency which specified that: : 1 silver Carolingian pound (equal to about 406½ grammes) = 20 schillings (''solidi'') = 240 ''pfennigs'' (''denarii''). However, the silver ''solidus'' or schilling was not minted in Carolingian times. Only single silver pennies were struck. In the Empire of Francia f ...

Austrian Schilling
The schilling (German language, German: ''Schilling'') was the currency of Austria from 1925 to 1938 and from 1945 to 1999, and the circulating currency until 2002. The euro was introduced at a fixed parity of €1 = 13.7603 schilling to replace it. The schilling was divided into 100 groschen. History Following the Carolingian coin reform in AD 794, new units of account were introduced including the ''schilling (coin), schilling'' which consisted of 12 silver ''pfennigs''. It was initially only a coin of account but later became an actual coin produced in many European countries. Before the modern Austrian schilling The currencies predating the schilling include: * The Florin, florin, in existence as a currency of the Holy Roman Empire since the 16th century, divided into 8 ''Schillings'' = 60 ''Kreuzer'' = 240 ''Pfennigs'' * The Austro-Hungarian florin after 1857, divided into 100 ''Neukreuzer'' * The Austro-Hungarian crown, introduced in 1892 upon adoption of the gold stand ...

Schilling Power Station
Schilling Power Station was an oil-fired power station in the proximity of the nuclear power station at Stade. It went into operation in 1960, was extended in 1962 and 1964, and was shut down in the 1980s. Since it principally served Hamburg north for the electricity supply of Hamburg and fed its current into the transformer station, the first overhead line crossing of the Elbe was built at that time at Stade, the Elbe Crossing 1. The buildings still exist today and are occasionally used for disaster control exercises. Due to the use of heavy fuel oil, a chimney was built with a height of 722 feet or 220 metres, it was 1962-1965 the tallest chimney worldwide.

Schilling Of Solothurn
The family of the two Swiss chroniclers called Diebold Schilling was originally from Solothurn. Klewi Schilling was a somewhat dubious character, and he was banned from the city, settling in Hagenau (Alsace), and probably died in Kaysersberg. His eldest son Hans worked as a scribe in the publishing house of Diebold Lauber in Hagenau. Klewi's younger son, Diebold Schilling the Elder worked in Lucerne as a chancellor. In 1460, Diebold moved to Bern for a post as a scribe to the city council, and Hans moved to Lucerne to take over the post vacated by his brother. Hans took after his father and went adventuring, visiting the court of Matthias Corvinus in Vienna together with the chronicler Melchior Russ in 1488 from where they both returned destitute. Hans' son, Diebold Schilling the Younger, was also something of a bohemian, and spent at least two years imprisoned for misdemeanour and for providing refuge for criminals.

Schilling Test
The Schilling test was a medical investigation used for patients with vitamin B (cobalamin) deficiency. The purpose of the test was to determine how well a patient is able to absorb B12 from their intestinal tract. The test is now considered obsolete and is rarely performed, and is no longer available at many medical centers. It is named for Robert F. Schilling. Process The Schilling test has multiple stages. As noted below, it can be done at any time after vitamin B supplementation and body store replacement, and some clinicians recommend that in severe deficiency cases, at least several weeks of vitamin repletion be done before the test (more than one B shot, and also oral folic acid), in order to ensure that impaired absorption of B (with or without intrinsic factor) is not occurring due to damage to the intestinal mucosa from the B and folate deficiency themselves. Stage 1: oral vitamin B plus intramuscular vitamin B12 (without IF) In the first part of the test, the patie ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
