A major component of these investigations was a combined reflection/ refraction survey across the territories of Palestine, Israel and Jordan. The main results of this study are: (1) The seismic basement is offset by 3-5 km under the DST, (2) The DST cuts through the entire crust, broadening in the lower crust, (3) Strong lower crustal reflectors are imaged only on one side of the DST, (4) The seismic velocity sections show a steady increase in the depth of the crust-mantle transition (Moho) from 26 km at the Mediterranean to 39 km under the Jordan highlands, with only a small but visible, asymmetric topography of the Moho under the DST. These observations can be linked to the left-lateral movement of 105 km of the two plates in the last 17 Myr, accompanied by strong deformation within a narrow zone cutting through the entire crust. Comparing the DST and the San Andreas Fault (SAF) system, a strong asymmetry in subhorizontal lower crustal reflectors and a deep reaching deformation zone both occur around the DST and the SAF. The fact that such lower crustal reflectors and deep deformation zones are observed in such different transform systems suggests that these structures are possibly fundamental features of large transform plate boundaries}, language = {en} } @article{Schmidt2008, author = {Schmidt, Hans-J{\"u}rgen}, title = {Perihelion precession for modified Newtonian gravity}, issn = {1550-7998}, year = {2008}, abstract = {We calculate the perihelion precession for nearly circular orbits in a central potential V(r). Differently from other approaches to this problem, we do not assume that the potential is close to the Newtonian one. The main idea in the deduction is to apply the underlying symmetries of the system, and to use the transformation behaviour in a rotating system of reference. This is equivalent to say, that the effective potential can be written in a one-parameter set of possibilities as sum of centrifugal potential and potential of the central force.}, language = {en} } @article{Schmidt2007, author = {Schmidt, Hans-J{\"u}rgen}, title = {Fourth order gravity : equations, history, and application to cosmology}, year = {2007}, abstract = {The field equations following from a Lagrangian L(R) will be deduced and solved for special cases. If L is a non-linear function of the curvature scalar, then these equations are of fourth order in the metric. In the introduction we present the history of these equations beginning with the paper of H. Weyl from 1918, who first discussed them as alternative to Einstein's theory. In the third part, we give details about the cosmic no hair theorem, i.e., the details how within fourth order gravity with L= R + R^2 the inflationary phase of cosmic evolution turns out to be a transient attractor. Finally, the Bicknell theorem, i.e. the conformal relation from fourth order gravity to scalar- tensor theory, will be shortly presented.}, language = {en} } @article{Schmidt2005, author = {Schmidt, Hans-J{\"u}rgen}, title = {Einsteins Arbeiten in Bezug auf die moderne Kosmologie : de Sitters L{\"o}sung der Einsteinschen Feldgleichung mit positivem kosmologischen Glied als Geometrie des inflationaeren Weltmodells}, year = {2005}, abstract = {Die Arbeit von Albert Einstein von 1918 zu Willem De Sitters Loesung der Einsteinschen Feldgleichung wird unter heutigem Gesichtspunkt kommentiert.

The theory possesses neither ghosts nor tachyons, but it fails to be linearization stable.
