Das Werk vermittelt praxis- und beratungsnah das Know-How für eine steueroptimale Verlustverrechnung – national wie international. Es beschreibt Strategien zur steuerlich effizienten Verlustnutzung und deren Abbildung in der internationalen Rechnungslegung.Das Werk• erläutert die Bedeutung und Ziele der Verlustnutzung,• nennt Verlustnutzungsmaßnahmen und• Lösungen für Verluste im Veräußerungsfall,• beschreibt Auswirkungen auf latente Steuern und• stellt nationale und internationale Rahmenbedingungen der Verlustnutzungsplanung dar.Aktueller denn je berücksichtigt die 2. Auflage nicht nur die veränderte BFH- und EuGH-Rechtsprechung zur grenzüberschreitenden Verlustverrechnung sowie diverse gesetzliche Änderungen mit Bedeutung für die Verlustnutzung, sondern wirft den Blick auch auf Verlustnutzungsfragen als Folge der wirtschaftlichen Verwerfungen infolge der COVID-19-Pandemie.

Plasmons as Sensors covers the fundamental developments of plasmonic nanosenor design over the last few years. In his acclaimed thesis, Jan Becker addresses the relevant theoretical concepts and then applies these to discuss the properties and trends in nanoparticles of various shapes and sizes. The first discovery Jan makes in his PhD research is that there is an optimal shape for plasmonic nanoparticles used for sensing purposes. In further chapters he goes on to describe novel experimental methods to use plasmonic nanoparticles for molecular sensing. The approach he develops in parallel sensing is one which revolutionizes the field and allows investigation of a variety of topics from nanoparticle growth to membrane protein attachment. Many of the experiments described in this thesis have led to highly visible publications in international journals.
