In this paper, quantified study of the biofilm formed by Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from urine specimen of patient suffering from acute urinary tract infection (UTI) on catheter, stainless-steel and glass coupon surfaces, as well as determine the relationship between time contact and biofilm progression using crystal-violet binding assay based on the values of optical density at 620nm of the crystal violet stain which bonded total biofilm biomass by resolubizing with 99.9% ethanol at the specific interval times. The result showed biofilm formed on three tested surfaces but in different degrees. According to obtained data, the catheter coupons presents a higher capability to attract bacteria cell and biofilm formation followed by glass surfaces while stainless-steel surfaces regard as a less attractive surfaces in bacterial adhesion and biofilm progression. The attachment of the bacterial cells on the fresh produce surfaces increase with the contact time but the increase reached a maximum at time 48h. in which, the optical densities of catheter, glass and stainless-steel coupon surfaces were (0.169 nm), (0.085 nm) and (0.07 nm) respectively. The statical analysis showed significant differences between substratum type's adherence and biofilm progression.
Let M be an R-module, where R is a commutative ring with unity. A submodule N of M is called e-small (denoted by N e  M) if N + K = M, where K e  M implies K = M. We give many properties related with this type of submodules.
Let R be a commutative ring with identity and M be a unitary R- module. We shall say that M is a primary multiplication module if every primary submodule of M is a multiplication submodule of M. Some of the properties of this concept will be investigated. The main results of this paper are, for modules M and N, we have M N and HomR (M, N) are primary multiplications R-modules under certain assumptions.
Let R be a ring with identity and M is a unitary left R–module. M is called J–lifting module if for every submodule N of M, there exists a submodule K of N such that
Let R be an associative ring with identity and let M be right R-module M is called μ-semi hollow module if every finitely generated submodule of M is μ-small submodule of M The purpose of this paper is to give some properties of μ-semi hollow module. Also, we gives conditions under, which the direct sum of μ-semi hollow modules is μ-semi hollow. An R-module is said has a projective μ-cover if there exists an epimorphism
Jordan curve theorem is one of the classical theorems of mathematics, it states the following : If is a graph of a simple closed curve in the complex plane the complement of is the union of two regions, being the common boundary of the two regions. One of the region is bounded and the other is unbounded. We introduced in this paper one of Jordan's theorem generalizations. A new type of space is discussed with some properties and new examples. This new space called Contractible -space.
Let be a commutative ring with an identity and be a unitary -module. We say that a non-zero submodule of is primary if for each with en either or and an -module is a small primary if = for each proper submodule small in. We provided and demonstrated some of the characterizations and features of these types of submodules (modules).
Let be a commutative ring with identity and let be an R-module. We call an R-submodule of as P-essential if for each nonzero prime submodule of and 0 . Also, we call an R-module as P-uniform if every non-zero submodule of is P-essential. We give some properties of P-essential and introduce many properties to P-uniform R-module. Also, we give conditions under which a submodule of a multiplication R-module becomes P-essential. Moreover, various properties of P-essential submodules are considered.
Let R be a commutative ring with unity and let M be a left R-module. We define a proper submodule N of M to be a weakly prime if whenever r  R, x  M, 0  r x  N implies x  N or r  (N:M). In fact this concept is a generalization of the concept weakly prime ideal, where a proper ideal P of R is called a weakly prime, if for all a, b  R, 0  a b  P implies a  P or b  P. Various properties of weakly prime submodules are considered.
Let R be a ring with identity and let M be a left R-module. M is called µ-lifting modulei f for every sub module A of M, There exists a direct summand D of M such that M = D D', for some sub module D' of M such that A≤D and A D'<<µ D'. The aim of this paper is to introduce properties of µ-lifting modules. Especially, we give characterizations of µ-lifting modules. On the other hand, the notion of amply µ-supplemented iis studied as a generalization of amply supplemented modules, we show that if M is amply µ-supplemented such that every µ-supplement sub module of M
