Desuperheating, sometimes called attemperation or steam conditioning, is the reduction of gas temperature. Its most common application is the reduction of temperature in a steam line through the direct contact and evaporation of water. Most Desuperheaters incorporate the venturi design which uses the velocity of the steam to atomize the cooling water. In addition, Ejector Atomizing Desuperheaters, Attemperator Desuperheaters, Surface Absorption Desuperheaters and Mechanical Atomizing Desuperheater designs are available. In most types, water pressure requirements are the same as the steam line pressure.
A boiler or steam generator is a device used to create steam by applying heat energy to water. Although the definitions are somewhat flexible, it can be said that older steam generators were commonly termed boilers and worked at low to medium pressure.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

records
16. VLOOKUP AND HLOOKUP FUNCTIONS
Why you
need to
know this
21. • VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP allows you to find a specific cell of data
in a larger data range
– Use VLOOKUP when each row contains a separate record and
the associated columns contain data for that one record
– Use HLOOKUP when each column contains a separate record
• VLOOKUP(SearchValue,Range,ColumnNumber,Error) ==> look
for a value in the row specified by SearchValue and the column
specified by ColumnNumber
– SearchValue indicates the “match key” (i.e., find the row that
contains the SearchValue in the first column)
– Range specifies the cells containing the data
– ColumnNumber specifies the column that contains the data
element you want
– Error determines what happens when Excel does not find the
exact SearchValue you want. FALSE leads Excel to display a
#N/A when an exact match cannot be found. TRUE leads Excel
to display the next smaller value than SearchValue
• HLOOKUP(SearchValue,Range,RowNumber,Error) ==> look for a
value in the column specified by SearchValue and the row
specified by RowNumber
NOTE: The 1st column of data must be sorted in ascending order
when using VLOOKUP, and the 1st row of data must be sorted if
using HLOOKUP
16. VLOOKUP AND HLOOKUP FUNCTIONS (CONTINUED)
How you
use this
feature
22. •Define a name for the cells containing the data and use
that name as the Range. Do not include the row/column
label in the named range because this would break the

inputs to achieve some desired calculational result (e.g.,
maximize revenues by increasing daily tickets,
increasing store size, average sale/ticket, etc.
simultaneously)
•Use Solver instead of Goal Seek when:
–You need to place constraints on the input variable
(e.g., cannot open a store for more than 24 hours a day)
–More than 1 input variables are involved
–You want to minimize or maximize the resulting
calculation in addition to just setting the calculation to
a predetermined value

36. • Sometimes you want to give your Excel file to someone else and
prevent them from changing the formulas for seeing some hidden
cells
• Protecting a spreadsheet or workbook involves two steps
– Designating which cells to be locked or hidden
– Protecting the spreadsheet or workbook
• Note several weird peculiarities:
– The default for all cells in a spreadsheet if LOCKED. So if you
want the receiver of your worksheet to change the content of a
cell, unlock the cell before protecting the spreadsheet
– The formulas in a cell can be seen even if the spreadsheet is
lock -- UNLESS you hide that cell before protecting the
spreadsheet
• To lock/unlock and hide/unhide a cell, select the cell(s) and select
Format : Cell. Select the Protection tab when the dialog box

54. 35. FINAL THOUGHTS
• Structure, structure, structure. Should know
this anyway, since you‘re ED keeps telling you
this every day
• Keep Inputs, Processing and Outputs on
different worksheets of your Excel file (IPO
principle)
• Name universal variables, e.g., WACC instead
of $AH264
• Use color-coding, but don‘t overdo it. Excel is
not a crayon-box.
• Save cautiously, but frequently. Keep different
versions and backup (network, floppy disk).
We‘ve seen too many models disappearing the
night before the progress review. The 35 Excel
tricks won‘t help then any more.
