Scrubbing the Wash Sale Rules

To wash or not to wash? That is the question.

books on sport medicine. I am not bragging about this but simply stating an easily verifiable fact. I had recently been reading a newspaper article that noted that the second biggest killer of children in the world is not malaria or tuberculosis, nor AIDS. It is diarrhoea. Over 2000 children die every single day throughout the world from this problem. The simplest solution to reducing this dise...

Fast Local Scrubbing for FPGAs

Memory scrubbing is used to mitigate SEU on susceptible devices. In the case of FPGAs, configuration memory scrubbing is generally used in conjunction with triple modular redundancy (TMR) to increase the reliability of FPGA systems in space borne applications. Reported solutions require a subsystem able to read and write from the configuration memory and retrieve from a “safe storage” a golden ...

The Single Absorption – Scrubbing Sulfuric Acid Process

The AE&C single absorption–scrubbing process has long been an alternate to double absorption for the production of sulfuric acid. In recent years regulatory pressure to reduce SO2 emissions from sulfuric acid plants to 1.0-1.25 pounds of SO2 per ton of acid produced (to about 120 PPM) or less coupled with the increased value of energy has enhanced the desirability of the single absorption–scrub...

Transport and Application Protocol Scrubbing

This paper describes the design and implementation of a protocol scrubber, a transparent interposition mechanism for explicitly removing network attacks at both the transport and application protocol layers. The transport scrubber supports downstream passive network-based intrusion detection systems; whereas the application scrubbing mechanism supports transparent fail-closed active network-bas...
