Austrian Schilling
The schilling (German language, German: ''Schilling''; ) is a former 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 794 AD, 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 preceding the schilling include: * The 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 gulden after 1857, divided into 100 ''Neukreuzer'' * The Austro-Hungarian krone, introduced in 1892 upon adoption of the gold stand ...

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 Th ...

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 Duchy of Bavaria, Duchies of Bavaria, Duchy of Mecklenburg, Mecklenburg, and Duchy of Württemberg, 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 (coin), 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 Caroling ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Schilling Rudder
A Schilling rudder is a specific type of profiled rudder used on certain boats and ships. The rudder is typically described as 'shaped like a fishtail'. Concept The Schilling profile is designed to improve the effective lift generated by the rudder and hence improve the maneuverability of the craft, especially at slow speeds. The rudder is effective in both forward and reverse. It has been claimed that a Schilling rudder ''"combines the highest lateral forces with the best course stability.'' Use Like all rudder A rudder is a primary control surface used to steer a ship, boat, submarine, hovercraft, airship, or other vehicle that moves through a fluid medium (usually air or water). On an airplane, the rudder is used primarily to counter adverse yaw ...s, the main effect of a Schilling rudder is to deflect the flow of water generated by the propeller.

Schilling Power Station
Schilling Power Station was an oil-fired power station in the proximity of Stade Nuclear Power Plant, 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. It was an open lattice structure with three separate exhaust pipes from the blocks. The structure was demolished in 2005.

Schilling Of Solothurn
The family of the two Swiss chroniclers called Diebold Schilling was originally from Solothurn. The elder Diebold Schilling wrote the '' Great Burgundian Chronicle''. 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. The Bern Council commissioned Diebold the elder to write the ''Great Burgundian Chronicle'', which he wrote and published in three volumes between 1474 and 1483. The ''Chronicle'' was notable for its prose discussion of the details of life, and Bern's role in the Burgundian Wars. Hans took after his father and went adventuring, visiting the court of ...

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] |
