Let R be a commutative ring with identity. An R-module M is said to be w-projective if $Ext\frac{1}{R}$(M,N) is GV-torsion for any torsion-free w-module N. In this paper, we define a ring R to be w-semi-hereditary if every finite type ideal of R is w-projective. To characterize w-semi-hereditary rings, we introduce the concept of w-injective modules and study some basic properties of w-injective modules. Using these concepts, we show that R is w-semi-hereditary if and only if the total quotient ring T(R) of R is a von Neumann regular ring and $R_m$ is a valuation domain for any maximal w-ideal m of R. It is also shown that a connected ring R is w-semi-hereditary if and only if R is a Pr$\ddot{u}$fer v-multiplication domain.

In this paper, we study Noetherian Boolean rings. We show that if R is a Noetherian Boolean ring, then R is finite and $R{\simeq}(\mathbb{Z}_2)^n$ for some integer $n{\geq}1$. If R is a Noetherian ring, then R/J is a Noetherian Boolean ring, where J is the intersection of all ideals I of R with |R/I| = 2. Thus R/J is finite, and hence the set of ideals I of R with |R/I| = 2 is finite. We also give a short proof of Hayes's result : For every polynomial $f(x){\in}\mathbb{Z}[x]$ of degree $n{\geq}1$, there are irreducible polynomials $g(x)$ and $h(x)$, each of degree $n$, such that $g(x)+h(x)=f(x)$.

A ring is called left P-coherent if every principal left ideal is finitely presented. Let M be a right R-module with the endomorphism ring S. We mainly study the P-coherence of S. It is shown that S is a left P-coherent ring if and only if the left annihilator $ann_S$(X) is a finitely generated left ideal of S for any M-cyclic submodule X of M if and only if every cyclically M-presented right R-module has an M-torsionfree preenvelope. As applications, we investigate when the endomorphism ring S is left PP or von Neumann regular.

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new class of rings that is closely related to the classes of pseudo valuation rings (PVRs) and pseudo-almost valuation domains (PAVDs). A commutative ring R is said to be ${\phi}$-ring if its nilradical Nil(R) is both prime and comparable with each principal ideal. The name is derived from the natural map ${\phi}$ from the total quotient ring T(R) to R localized at Nil(R). A prime ideal P of a ${\phi}$-ring R is said to be a ${\phi}$-pseudo-strongly prime ideal if, whenever $x,y{\in}R_{Nil(R)}$ and $(xy){\phi}(P){\subseteq}{\phi}(P)$, then there exists an integer $m{\geqslant}1$ such that either $x^m{\in}{\phi}(R)$ or $y^m{\phi}(P){\subseteq}{\phi}(P)$. If each prime ideal of R is a ${\phi}$-pseudo strongly prime ideal, then we say that R is a ${\phi}$-pseudo-almost valuation ring (${\phi}$-PAVR). Among the properties of ${\phi}$-PAVRs, we show that a quasilocal ${\phi}$-ring R with regular maximal ideal M is a ${\phi}$-PAVR if and only if V = (M : M) is a ${\phi}$-almost chained ring with maximal ideal $\sqrt{MV}$. We also investigate the overrings of a ${\phi}$-PAVR.

For a given ideal I of a Noetherian ring R and an arbitrary integer ${\kappa}{\geq}-1$, we apply the concept of ${\kappa}$-regular sequences and the notion of ${\kappa}$-depth to give some results on modules called ${\kappa}$-Cohen Macaulay modules, which in local case, is exactly the ${\kappa}$-modules (as a generalization of f-modules). Meanwhile, we give an expression of local cohomology with respect to any ${\kappa}$-regular sequence in I, in a particular case. We prove that the dimension of homology modules of the Koszul complex with respect to any ${\kappa}$-regular sequence is at most ${\kappa}$. Therefore homology modules of the Koszul complex with respect to any filter regular sequence has finite length.

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new class of rings that is closely related to the class of pseudo-Krull domains. Let 𝓗 = {R | R is a commutative ring and Nil(R) is a divided prime ideal of R}. Let R ∈ 𝓗 be a ring with total quotient ring T(R) and define 𝜙 : T(R) → R_Nil(R) by ${\phi}({\frac{a}{b}})={\frac{a}{b}}$ for any a ∈ R and any regular element b of R. Then 𝜙 is a ring homomorphism from T(R) into R_Nil(R) and 𝜙 restricted to R is also a ring homomorphism from R into R_Nil(R) given by ${\phi}(x)={\frac{x}{1}}$ for every x ∈ R. We say that R is a 𝜙-pseudo-Krull ring if 𝜙(R) = ∩ R_i, where each R_i is a nonnil-Noetherian 𝜙-pseudo valuation overring of 𝜙(R) and for every non-nilpotent element x ∈ R, 𝜙(x) is a unit in all but finitely many R_i. We show that the theories of 𝜙-pseudo Krull rings resemble those of pseudo-Krull domains.

This paper presents the optimal design of an overlapped ultrasonic sensor ring for high resolution obstacle detection of an autonomous mobile robot. It is assumed that a set of low directivity ultrasonic sensors of the same type are arranged along a circle of nonzero radius at a regular spacing with their beams overlapped. First, taking into account the dead angle region, the entire range of obstacle detection is determined with reference to the center of an overlapped ultrasonic sensor ring. Second, the optimal design index of an overlapped ultrasonic sensor ring is defined as the area closeness of three sensing subzones resulting from beam overlap. Third, the lower and upper bounds on the number of ultrasonic sensors are derived, which can guarantee minimal beam overlap and also avoid excessive beam overlap among adjacent ultrasonic sensors. Fourth, employing a commercial low directivity ultrasonic sensor, an optimal design example of an overlapped ultrasonic sensor ring is given along with the ultrasonic sensor ring prototype mounted on top of a mobile robot. Finally, some experimental results using our prototype ultrasonic sensor ring are given to demonstrate the validity and performance of an optimally overlapped ultrasonic sensor ring for high resolution obstacle detection.

Let R = $Mat_2(F)$ be the ring of all 2 by 2 matrices over a finite field F, X the set of all nonzero, nonunits of R and G the group of all units of R. After investigating some properties of orbits under the left (and right) regular action on X by G, we show that the graph automorphisms group of $\Gamma(R)$ (the zero-divisor graph of R) is isomorphic to the symmetric group $S_{|F|+1}$ of degree |F|+1.

Reduced Von Neumann Regular ring is pseudo symmetric and N(R) is reduced. Thus N(R) is pseudo symmetric and M(R) is reduced if and only if M(R) = N(R).

This article concerns a ring property that arises from combining one-sided duo factor rings and centers. A ring R is called right CIFD if R/I is right duo by some proper ideal I of R such that I is contained in the center of R. We first see that this property is seated between right duo and right π-duo, and not left-right symmetric. We prove, for a right CIFD ring R, that W(R) coincides with the set of all nilpotent elements of R; that R/P is a right duo domain for every minimal prime ideal P of R; that R/W(R) is strongly right bounded; and that every prime ideal of R is maximal if and only if R/W(R) is strongly regular, where W(R) is the Wedderburn radical of R. It is also proved that a ring R is commutative if and only if D₃(R) is right CIFD, where D₃(R) is the ring of 3 by 3 upper triangular matrices over R whose diagonals are equal. Furthermore, we show that the right CIFD property does not pass to polynomial rings, and that the polynomial ring over a ring R is right CIFD if and only if R/I is commutative by a proper ideal I of R contained in the center of R.
