I perioden 5. marts 2020 - 30. november 2021 kørte to grønne shuttle-busser påAstrupstien i Aalborg Øst fra nord til syd og tilbage igen, som led i Smart Bus-projektet - Aalborg Kommunes længe ventede test af førerløse busser. Det første projekt af sin art i Danmark.At lave Danmarks første forsøg med førerløse busser forpligter til at indsamle viden og evaluere for at blive klogere på mulighederne med den nye mobilitetsteknologi. Behovet for at dokumentere erfaringerne forstærkes yderligere af, at forsøget med de førerløse busser i Aalborg Øst er tænkt ind i områdets byplanmæssige udvikling og derved skaber en unik mulighed for at undersøge, hvordan den konkrete by- og transportkontekst spiller sammenmed teknologien, og hvordan mennesker anvender og oplever teknologien som en del af i deres by og hverdag.På den baggrund indgik Aalborg Kommune og Center for Mobilitet og Urbane Studier (C-MUS), Aalborg Universitet, i 2017 et samarbejde omkring forsøgsprojektet. Aalborg Universitet skulle følge, dokumentere og analysere forsøget via kvalitative undersøgelser af mødet mellem menneske, by og teknologi.Det er resultatet af denne flerårige undersøgelse, som er gengivet i denne rapport.

The extensive Danish coastline is dotted with small and medium-sized harbors. To various degrees, these harbors and the activities that shape and sustain them, are embedded in their localities - developed through close interrelationships with site-specific conditions of the sea and of the land, interwoven with local economies and communities – they are also material manifestations of links to elsewhere and global production and consumption flows. They are national and regional nodes in mobility networks of trade and flows, manifesting as moorings of building and infrastructure at local sites.This paper empirically traces instances of site-specific interrelationships between harbors, towns, and landscapes. Four Danish harbors are the object of study, one an inland port by a fiord, the others located on the east and west coasts of the peninsula of Jutland. On the basis of this study, the paper develops thematic deliberations on the material manifestations of contemporary port-scapes and their mutual on-goings in two interlinked trajectories. First, in acknowledging and seeking to unfold the character of these harbors as anthropogenic terrains, the paper engages a conceptual discussion of the inscriptions of human-nature relationships in their material layout, space, and form. Second, the paper deliberates on future trajectories for the material agency of these layouts, spaces and forms in the ‘port-city relationships’, discussing controversies and mutualities between ports and towns.

Denne rapport præsenterer analyser, anbefalinger og designscenarier for et tårn i Hundelev. Designscenarierne har til formål at visualisere mulige fremtider for landsbyen og fungere som inspirationskilde til Hundelevs udvikling. Projektet sigter dermed på at diskutere, hvilke udviklingsmuligheder landsbyen Hundelev har - i samspillet mellem det bebyggede miljø, livet i landsbyen og dens fremtidige identitet. Arbejdet sætter fokus på udviklingen af Hundelevs landsbymidte med undersøgelser af, hvordan et tårn i Hundelev kan være et arkitektonisk vartegn, et omdrejningspunkt for hverdagslivet i landsbyen og for dens besøgende, og et strategisk skridt mod god lokalsamfundsudvikling.

Nutrients destined for the developing cereal grain encounter several restricting barriers on their path towards their final storage sites in the grain. In order to identify transporters and chelating agents that may be involved in transport and deposition of zinc in the barley grain, expression profiles have been generated of four different tissue types: the transfer cells, the aleurone layer, the endosperm, and the embryo. Cells from these tissues were isolated with the 'laser capture microdissection' technology and the extracted RNA was subjected to three rounds of T7-based amplification. The amplified RNA was subsequently hybridized to Affymetrix 22K Barley GeneChips. Due to the short average length of the amplified transcripts and the positioning of numerous probe sets at locations more than 400 base pairs (bp) from the poly(A)-tail, a normalization approach was used where the probe positions were taken into account. On the basis of the expression levels of a number of metal homeostasis genes, a working model is proposed for the translocation of zinc from the phloem to the storage sites in the developing grain.

Gennem århundreder har fokus i forbedringen af vores afgrøder ligget i forædlingen mod højere udbytte, medens indholdet af essentielle mineraler stort set har været ignoreret. I de seneste år har forståelsen af de molekylære mekanismer, der ligger til grund for optagelse, transport og deponering af mineraler i planter lagt grunden til en mere målrettet angrebsvinkel for forbedring af den næringsmæssige værdi af vore afgrøder baseret på bioteknologi.
