For a ring endomorphism ${\alpha}$ and an ${\alpha}-derivation\;{\delta}$ of a ring R, we study relation between the set of annihilators in R and the set of annihilators in nearring $R[x;{\alpha},{\delta}]\;and\;R_0[[x;{\alpha}]]$. Also we extend results of Armendariz on the Baer and p.p. conditions in a polynomial ring to certain analogous annihilator conditions in a nearring of skew polynomials. These results are somewhat surprising since, in contrast to the skew polynomial ring and skew power series case, the nearring of skew polynomials and skew power series have substitution for its "multiplication" operation.

P. M. Cohn called a ring R reversible if whenever ab = 0, then ba = 0 for $a,b{\in}R$. In this paper, we study an extension of a reversible ring with its endomorphism. An endomorphism ${\alpha}$ of a ring R is called strong right (resp., left) reversible if whenever $a{\alpha}(b)=0$ (resp., ${\alpha}(a)b=0$) for $a,b{\in}R$, ba = 0. A ring R is called strong right (resp., left) ${\alpha}$-reversible if there exists a strong right (resp., left) reversible endomorphism ${\alpha}$ of R, and the ring R is called strong ${\alpha}$-reversible if R is both strong left and right ${\alpha}$-reversible. We investigate characterizations of strong ${\alpha}$-reversible rings and their related properties including extensions. In particular, we show that every semiprime and strong ${\alpha}$-reversible ring is ${\alpha}$-rigid and that for an ${\alpha}$-skew Armendariz ring R, the ring R is reversible and strong ${\alpha}$-reversible if and only if the skew polynomial ring $R[x;{\alpha}]$ of R is reversible.
