Magda Chambriard. Magda Maria de Regina Chambriard (born 1957) is a Brazilian chemical engineer. In June 2024 she became the president of Petrobras, the state-owned petroleum corporation that was ranked the 54th largest company in the world in 2024 by Forbes Global 2000. Between 2012 and 2016 she was the first female director-general of the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP), the agency charged with regulating Brazil's oil industry.

Early life and education
Chambriard was born on 30 June 1957 in Rio de Janeiro, to Sérgio Raul de Barros Regina and Cândida Alves de Barros Regina. Her father was a lawyer and Portuguese language teacher. She married a surgeon, Claude Jacques Chambriard. They later divorced but she kept his surname. In 1979, she graduated in civil engineering from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). She joined Petrobras in 1980. After studying at the Petrobras Corporate University on matters related to oil exploration and production, she completed a postgraduate degree in chemical engineering in 1989 from the Instituto Alberto Luiz Coimbra de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Engenharia known by its acronym, COPPE, a branch of UFRJ.

Career
Chambriard began her career at Petrobras in 1980, working in the oil production area, specialising in reservoir engineering. In 2002 she was assigned to the ANP as an advisor to the Exploration and Production Board. In 2005, she took over the Agency's Exploration Superintendence (SEP), being responsible for regulating and monitoring exploratory activities in the national territory. From 2008 she became one of four directors at ANP and in March 2012 was appointed director-general by the president Dilma Rousseff. She left the position in December 2016, after Michel Temer became president.

After leaving ANP she worked as an energy consultant to the Fundação Getulio Vargas and also established her own consulting firm. From April 2021 Chambriard served as director of the Fiscal Advisory Office of the Legislative Assembly of Rio de Janeiro. Following the election of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva at the end of 2022 she became part of his transition team. She became president of Petrobras in June 2024 after being nominated by Lula.

Criticisms and plaudits
During her term as director-general of ANP, she was criticized for allegedly receiving a salary from both Petrobras and ANP, and for taking on a position at a private company which could have led to a conflict of interests. Allegations were also made about her role in the bankruptcy of the oil company OGX, founded by former billionaire Eike Batista, which was alleged to have operated a "pump and dump" scheme to encourage people to buy worthless shares. Offsetting these criticisms, Chambriard was complimented for her handling of an oil spill in the Campos Basin as a result of well drilling by the Chevron Corporation in November 2011. This led to heavy fines for the company.

Diisobutene. Diisobutene (also known as Diisobutylene and Isooctene) refers to a pair of organic compounds with the overall formula C8H16.  The isomers have the same carbon skeleton but differ in the location of the C=C bond.  Both are colorless liquids with very similar physical properties.  These compounds arise via the acid catalyzed dimerization of isobutene, a reaction that proceeds via the carbocation .  The process also leads to some triisobutenes and tetraisobutenes.

Applications
Hydrogenation is performed at a significant scale to give isooctane, which is an important fuel additive. Diisobutene is used as precursors to isononylol and octylphenols by hydroformylation/hydrogenation and phenol alkylation, respectively.  Both are precursors to plasticizers. The isononylol (3,5,5-trimethyl-hexan-1-ol) is a precursor to 3,5,5-trimethylhexyl acetate, a commercial fragrance. Diisobutenes were once of interest as components for automotive fuels.

IÉ 90000 Class. The Iarnród Éireann 90000 Class is a type of electric multiple unit (EMU) which will be deployed on the DART network in Dublin, Ireland. In December 2021 Iarnród Éireann chose Alstom as supplier of up to 750 carriages, in five- or ten-carriage trains, and made an initial order of 19 five-carriage trains, 13 of which will be battery electric multiple units (BEMUs). A second order was placed in December 2022 for 18 five-car BEMUs.

Background 
The class is part of the DART+ project, which will expand DART services to lines which are currently served by diesel multiple units (DMUs) such as the 29000 class and 22000 class. The BEMUs will be used for services on the non-electrified lines to Maynooth, Hazelhatch and Drogheda. The class is being constructed by Alstom at their facility in Katowice, Poland. The first unit arrived in Ireland in late 2024 and the first trains are expected to enter service in 2026.

Design 
The five-car articulated trains are  long, the same as the current four-car 8500 Class trains, and have a capacity of 551 passengers, including 204 seats. The maximum speed is . To improve accessibility the trains will have lower floors for level access from platforms and a sliding ramp at each door.

The BEMUs will be fitted with lithium-ion batteries with a capacity of 840kWh and an expected range of  even at the end of the operational life of the batteries. The trains will not charge from the existing overhead lines, but will need special charging points, the first of which will be at Drogheda.

 no ten-car trains have been ordered, but it is expected that they would be formed of two five-car half trains which could be split for maintenance.

Anton Jüngling. Anton Jüngling (14 March 1798 – 30 November 1885) was an Austrian railway architect.

Life 
Jüngling graduated from the Polytechnic Institute in Vienna and the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna under the architect Pietro Nobile. From 1822 to 1838, he worked as an accounting clerk, and in 1836 to 1842, he worked as a structural designer for the Emperor Ferdinand Northern Railway. Before leaving the civil service, he held both jobs and in 1837 applied to the SDCF to be accepted as a permanent architect. construction directorate, in the years 1852–1860 he worked in the Central Directorate for Railway Constructions and in the years 1860–1864 in the General Inspectorate of Austrian Railways.

He died on 30 November 1885.

Work 
On the recommendation of the building board , in 1838, Anton Jüngling received an assignment to draw up plans, budgets and terms of reference for station buildings on the Vienna–Brno line. Jüngling was so impressed by the work that he left his career as a civil servant and joined the SDCF as an architect in the position of assistant chief engineer. Until 1842, he mainly designed and managed the construction of dispatch buildings on the lines of the SDCF company Vienna–Břeclav–Brno, Břeclav–Přerov–Lipník nad Bečvou, Přerov–Olomouc, from 1842 on the lines of the Northern State Railway Olomouc–Prague, Brno–Česká Třebová and others (Prague–Děčín).

The first buildings that were not yet subject to typification were designed individually. Nevertheless, some forms were repeated in Jüngling's buildings, such as multi-story buildings with a high hip roof, and architectural elements (shallow avant-corps, attics, triangular gables). His work was also influenced by English architectural patterns, for example the free-standing platform shelters with gable roofs supported by wooden posts were inspired by the 1830 Crown Street through station in Liverpool.

From 1842, Jügling worked for the Northern State Railway. At that time, the stations were already divided according to importance into five classes, of which the most numerous was IV. class (waiting room, cash desk, two flats and water station). This division led Jüngling to create typified buildings, which were distinguished by small details, e.g. in the division of facades, the length of the wings (at waterworks).
