Let R be a commutative ring with unity. In this paper we introduce the notion of chained fuzzy modules as a generalization of chained modules. We investigate several characterizations and properties of this concept

     This paper aims to introduce the concepts of  -closed, -coclosed, and -extending modules as generalizations of the closed, coclossed, and extending modules,  respectively. We will prove some properties as when the image of the e*-closed submodule is also e*-closed and when the submodule of the e*-extending module is e*-extending. Under isomorphism, the e*-extending modules are closed. We will study the quotient of e*-closed and e*-extending, the direct sum of e*-closed, and the direct sum of e*-extending.

Throughout this paper we introduce the concept of quasi closed submodules which is weaker than the concept of closed submodules. By using this concept we define the class of fully extending modules, where an R-module M is called fully extending if every quasi closed submodule of M is a direct summand.This class of modules is stronger than the class of extending modules. Many results about this concept are given, also many relationships with other related concepts are introduced.

A non-zero module M is called hollow, if every proper submodule of M is small. In this work we introduce a generalization of this type of modules; we call it prime hollow modules. Some main properties of this kind of modules are investigated and the relation between these modules with hollow modules and some other modules are studied, such as semihollow, amply supplemented and lifting modules.

Let R be a commutative ring with identity, and let M be a unity R-module. M is called a bounded R-module provided that there exists an element x?M such that annR(M) = annR(x). As a generalization of this concept, a concept of semi-bounded module has been introduced as follows: M is called a semi-bounded if there exists an element x?M such that . In this paper, some properties and characterizations of semi-bounded modules are given. Also, various basic results about semi-bounded modules are considered. Moreover, some relations between semi-bounded modules and other types of modules are considered.

M is viewed as a right module over an arbitrary ring R with identity. The essential second modules is defined in this paper. We call M is essential second when for any a bilongs to R, either Ma = 0 or Ma <_e M. Number of conclusions are gained and some connections between these modules and other related modules are studied.

Let R be a ring with identity and M be a right unitary R-module. In this paper we
introduce the notion of strongly coretractable modules. Some basic properties of this
class of modules are investigated and some relationships between these modules and
other related concepts are introduced. 

  In this paper we introduce the notion of semiprime fuzzy module as a generalization of semiprime module. We investigate several characterizations and properties of this concept.

   In this paper ,we introduce a concept of Max– module as follows: M is called a Max- module if ann N R is a maximal ideal of R, for each non– zero submodule N of M;       In other words, M is a Max– module iff (0) is a *- submodule, where  a proper submodule N of M is called a *- submodule if [ ] : N K R is a maximal ideal of R, for each submodule K contains N properly.       In this paper, some properties and characterizations of max– modules and  *- submodules are given. Also, various basic results a bout Max– modules are considered. Moreover, some relations between max- modules and other types of modules are considered.

Gangyong Lee, S.Tariq Rizvi, and Cosmin S.Roman studied Rickart modules.

The main purpose of this paper is to develop the properties of Rickart modules .

We prove that each injective and prime module is a Rickart module. And we give characterizations of some kind of rings in term of Rickart modules.
