for any reduced commutative $f$-ring with identity and bounded inversion, we show that a condition which is obviously necessary for the socle of the ring to coincide with the socle of its bounded part, is actually also sufficient. the condition is that every minimal ideal of the ring consist entirely of bounded elements. it is not too stringent, and is satisfied, for instance, by rings of conti...

‎let $i$ be an ideal in a regular local ring $(r,n)$‎, ‎we will find‎ ‎bounds on the first and the last betti numbers of‎ ‎$(a,m)=(r/i,n/i)$‎. ‎if $a$ is an artinian ring of the embedding‎ ‎codimension $h$‎, ‎$i$ has the initial degree $t$ and $mu(m^t)=1$‎, ‎we call $a$ a {it $t-$extended stretched local ring}‎. ‎this class of‎ ‎local rings is a natural generalization of the class of stretched ...

let $(r,m)$ be a commutative noetherian local ring, $m$ a finitely generated $r$-module of dimension $d$, and let $i$ be an ideal of definition for $m$. in this paper, we extend cite[corollary 10(4)]{p} and also we show that if $m$ is a cohen-macaulay $r$-module and $d=2$, then $lambda(frac{widetilde{i^nm}}{jwidetilde{i^{n-1}m}})$ does not depend on $j$ for all $ngeq 1$, where $j$ is a minimal ...

Introduction: This paper treats the structure of those lattice-ordered rings which are subdirect sums of totally ordered rings—the f-rings of Birkhoff and Pierce [4]. Broadly, it splits into two parts, concerned respectively with identical equations and with ideal structure; but there is an important overlap at the beginning. D. G. Johnson has shown [9] that not every /-ring is unitable, i.e. e...

To evaluate the acute effect of lovastatin on diabetic endothelial dysfunction, we examined this effect on the aortic rings of streptozotocin-diabetic rats. The endothelial function was assessed in aortic rings isolated from diabetic rats, 12 weeks after treatment with streptozotocin (45 mg/kg, i.p.). The concentration-response curve to acetylcholine (Ach) in the aortic rings precontracted with...

we show  that a projective maximal submodule of afinitely generated, regular, extending module is a directsummand. hence, every finitely generated, regular, extendingmodule with projective maximal submodules is semisimple. as aconsequence, we observe that every regular, hereditary, extendingmodule is semisimple. this generalizes and simplifies a result of  dung and   smith. as another consequen...
