in this paper, the notion of fully idempotent modules is defined and it is shown that this notion inherits most of the essential properties of the usual notion of von neumann's regular rings. furthermore, we introduce the dual notion of fully idempotent modules (that is, fully coidempotent modules) and investigate some properties of this class of modules.

 Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and $M$ be a finitely generated unital $R$-module. In this paper, first we give necessary and sufficient conditions that a finitely generated module to be a multiplication module. Moreover, we investigate some conditions which imply that the module $M$ is the direct sum of some cyclic modules and free modules. Then some properties of Fitting ideals o...

OBJECTIVE To assess the impact of rapid aneuploidy detection (RAD) combined with fetal karyotyping versus karyotyping only on maternal anxiety and health-related quality of life. METHODS Women choosing to undergo amniocentesis were selected into group 1, i.e. receiving a karyotype result only (n = 132) or to group 2, i.e. receiving both the result of RAD and karyotyping (n = 181). RESULTS T...

TOPIC Attachment theory and reactive attachment disorder (RAD). PURPOSE To highlight current perspectives on attachment theory, RAD, and treatment implications using a case study of an 8-year-old patient with RAD. SOURCES Selected multidisciplinary literature related to attachment theory and RAD. CONCLUSIONS The literature provides a body of work that substantiates the importance of early...

The inhibitory effects of 250 KVP x-radiation on the electroretinographic response (ERG) of the rabbit were investigated. Rabbits were exposed (head only) to either a single dose ranging from 3,000 rad to 8,000 rad or to a fractionated dose, two doses of 3,000 rod each with an interval of 5 days. ERG responses of the dark adapted eyes of the rabbit were determined prior to exposure and at vario...

BACKGROUND Little is known about the specific reasons for antipsychotic discontinuation or continuation from patients' or clinicians' perspectives. This study aimed to assess the construct validity of 2 new measures of the Reasons for Antipsychotic Discontinuation/Continuation (RAD): RAD-I (a structured interview assessing the patient's perspective) and RAD-Q (a questionnaire assessing the clin...

 Prime submodules and artinian prime modules are characterized. Furthermore, some previous results on prime modules and second modules are generalized.
