چکیده

This paper establishes two new connections between the familiar function ring functor ${\mathfrak R}$ on the category ${\bf CRFrm}$ of completely regular frames and the category {\bf CR}${\mathbf \sigma}${\bf Frm} of completely regular $\sigma$-frames as well as their counterparts for the analogous functor ${\mathfrak Z}$ on the category {\bf ODFrm} of 0-dimensional frames, given by the integer-valued functions, and for the related functors ${\mathfrak R}^*$ and ${\mathfrak Z}^*$ corresponding to the bounded functions.  Further it is shown that some familiar facts concerning these functors are simple consequences of the present results.
