Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $M$ an $R$-module. A submodule $N$ of is called d-submodule $($resp., fd-submodule$)$ if $\ann_R(m)\subseteq \ann_R(m')$ $\ann_R(F)\subseteq \ann_R(m'))$ for some $m\in N$ finite subset $F\subseteq N)$ $m'\in M$ implies that N.$ Many examples, characterizations, properties these submodules are given. Moreover, we use them to characterize modules satisfying Prop...

Let $R$ be an arbitrary ring with identity and $M$ a right $R$-module with $S=$ End$_R(M)$. The module $M$ is called {it Rickart} if for any $fin S$, $r_M(f)=Se$ for some $e^2=ein S$. We prove that some results of principally projective rings and Baer modules can be extended to Rickart modules for this general settings.
