Optymalizacja podatkowa przedsiębiorców – granice prawa a granice bezpieczeństwa
PublikacjaOptymalizacja podatkowa jest kategorią niezbędną w działalności każdego podmiotu gospodarczego. Niestety przepisy prawa podatkowego nie wyzna-czają zakresu dopuszczalnych prawem działań optymalizujących. Działaniom takim nie sprzyjają: niejasne i niestabilne przepisy prawne, ukierunkowanie sytemu podatkowego wyłącznie na cele fiskalne, brak strategii podatkowych wobec przedsiębiorców oraz niewystarczający poziom edukacji podatkowej....

Minimization of a ship's magnetic signature under external field conditions using a multi-dipole model
PublikacjaThe paper addresses the innovative issue of minimizing the ship's magnetic signature under any external field conditions, i.e., for arbitrary values of ambient field modulus and magnetic inclination. Varying values of the external field, depending on the current geographical location, affect only the induced part of ship's magnetization. A practical problem in minimizing the ship signature is separating permanent magnetization...
