In this paper, we explore a generalization of the notion of integrality. In particular, we study a near-integrality condition that is intermediate between the concepts of integral and almost integral. This property (referred to as the $\Omega$-almost integral property) is a representative independent specialization of the standard notion of almost integrality. Some of the properties of this generalization are explored in this paper, and these properties are compared with the notion of pseudo-integrality introduced by Anderson, Houston, and Zafrullah. Additionally, it is shown that the $\Omega$-almost integral property serves to characterize the survival/lying over pairs of Dobbs and Coykendall

An integral domain $D$ with identity is condensed (resp., strongly condensed) if for each pair of ideals $I$, $J$ of $D$, $IJ=\{ij; i\in I, j\in J\}$ (resp., $IJ=iJ$ for some $i\in I$ or $IJ =Ij$ for some $j\in J$). We show that for a Noetherian domain $D$, $D$ is condensed if and only if $\Pic(D)=0$ and $D$ is locally condensed, while a local domain is strongly condensed if and only if it has the two-generator property. An integrally closed domain $D$ is strongly condensed if and only if $D$ is a B\'{e}zout generalized Dedekind domain with at most one maximal ideal of height greater than one. We give a number of equivalencies for a local domain with finite integral closure to be strongly condensed. Finally, we show that for a field extension $k\subseteq K$, the domain $D=k+XK[[X]]$ is condensed if and only if $[K:k]\leq 2$ or $[K:k]=3$ and each degree-two polynomial in $k[X]$ splits over $k$, while $D$ is strongly condensed if and only if $[K:k] \leq 2$.
