PPSU hollow fiber nanofiltration membranes are prepared by applying two concentrations and various extrusion pressures according to the phase inversion method. Cross-sectional area and outer structures were characterized by using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). In additional to the pore size distribution, either the mean roughness or the mean pore size of the PPSU hollow fiber surfaces was evaluated by AFM. It was found that the morphology of the PPSU fibers had both sponge-like and finger-like structures through different extrusion pressures and PPSU concentrations. The mean pore size and mean roughness for inner and outer surfaces were seen to be decreased with the increase of extrusion pressure at

   Let R be a commutative ring with unity and let M be a unitary R-module. In this paper we study fully semiprime submodules and fully semiprime modules, where a proper fully invariant R-submodule W of M is called fully semiprime in M if whenever XXW for all fully invariant R-submodule X of M, implies XW.         M is called fully semiprime if (0) is a fully semiprime submodule of M. We give basic properties of these concepts. Also we study the relationships between fully semiprime submodules (modules) and other related submodules (modules) respectively.

 In this paper, we give a comprehensive study of min (max)-CS modules such as a closed submodule of min-CS module is min-CS. Amongst other results we show that a direct summand of min (max)-CS module is min (max)-CS module. One of interested theorems in this paper is, if R is a nonsingular ring then R is a max-CS ring if and only if R is a min-CS ring.

  In this paper we introduced the concept of 2-pure submodules as a generalization of pure submodules, we study some of its basic properties and by using this concept we define the class of 2-regular modules, where an R-module M is called 2-regular module if every submodule is 2-pure submodule. Many results about this concept are given. 

An -module  is extending if every submodule of   is essential in a direct summand of . Following Clark, an -module  is purely extending if every submodule of   is essential in a pure submodule of . It is clear purely extending is generalization of extending modules. Following Birkenmeier and Tercan, an -module     is Goldie extending if, for each submodule      of , there is a direct summand D of such that . In this paper, we introduce and study class of modules which are proper generalization of both the purely extending modules and -extending modules. We call an -module  is purely Goldie extending if, for each , there is a pure submodule P of such that  . Many c

  Let R be an associative ring with identity and M a non – zero unitary R-module.In this paper we introduce the definition of purely co-Hopfian module, where an R-module M is said to be purely co-Hopfian if for any monomorphism f Ë› End (M), Imf is pure in M and we give  some properties of this kind of modules.
