Today scholarly criticism of the OE poem Andreas still addresses issues raised almost a century ago. At that time, scholars first noticed that Andreas resembled the epic Beowulf not only in narrative structure, but also in verbal expression. The apparent borrowings together with Andreas overall martial tone seemed often inapposite in their context in this saint's life, suggesting to these critics that the author of Andreas was a less than competent poet. While some scholars still judge both the Beowulf presence and the martial diction in Andreas to be signs of the poet's deficiencies, other scholars argue that, as hagiography, Andreas is not subject to the constraints of mimesis, and that the martial diction and Beowulf borrowings usually have a non-literal significance. They believe that because Andreas is therefore an allegorical narrative, the charge of mimetic incoherence is itself inappropriate. A close reading of Andreas supports this contention. The poet's martial language is an apt expression of the Christian metaphor of martiality found in Eph. 6. 10-17, and implies a consistent distinction between the soldier of Christ and the soldier of Satan. In addition, purposeful allusion to Beowulf (through intentional narrative parallels as well as through verbal duplications and echoes) enriches the portrait of the two opposing comitatus and suggests that the soldier of Christ is a more worthy ideal than his secular counterpart. These observations strongly suggest that the author of Andreas was an able poet, skilfully using the resources of Anglo-Saxon literary tradition to express his Christian theme. / Arts, Faculty of / English, Department of / Graduate

This report is based on a thesis that was carried out during spring 2012. The report covers the development of a preliminary study to Performance Sk8. The purpose of the study is to facilitate and contribute inspiration to Performance Sk8 to run an automation project to bring home their production to Sweden from China. The reason is to gain a greater ability to control quality, produce smaller batches and reduce the cycle time to reduce costs. The goal is that the preliminary study shall meet the requirements and wishes Performance Sk8 and other partners defined. The pre study will contain different cost proposals for the automation of selected process and serve as a basis for procurement of the equipment. The pre study has resulted in some proposed solutions to the various steps required to automate Performance Sk8 ́s production. In addition to the proposed solutions are also concept proposal which has developed with suggestions for flows, prices and other information that can help Performance Sk8 in its ongoing automation project.

Spot cores from Phase 1 drilling of the main borehole at the San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth (SAFOD) were mapped to characterize the mesoscale structure and infer paleostress at depth. Cores were oriented by comparing mapped structures with image logs of the borehole. The upper core (1476-1484 m measured depth, MD) is a medium-grained, weakly foliated, hornblende-biotite granodiorite containing leucocratic phenocrysts and lenses. Principal structures are sub-vertical veins, shallow dipping shears, and natural fractures of unknown kinematics. The features are compatible with horizontal extension and right-lateral, normal, oblique-slip on faults striking approximately parallel to the SAF. The lower core (3055.6-3067.2 m MD) has massivebedded, pebble conglomerates and coarse to fine grained arkosic sandstones grade into siltstones. Principal structure features are conjugate shears and two minor faults. The fracture fabric is consistent with strike-slip faulting and a maximum principal compressive paleostress at ~80° to the SAF plane. This paleostress is essentially parallel to the current in situ stress measured in the main borehole and to paleostresses inferred from fracture fabrics in exhumed faults of the San Andreas system to the south. The similarity between the current state of stress and paleostress states supports the suggestion that the maximum principal compressive stress direction is, on average, at high angles to the SAF and that the fault has been weak over geologic time.
