In this paper, we first show that for any space X, there is a Boolean subalgebra $\mathcal{G}(z_X)$ of R(X) containg $\mathcal{G}(X)$. Let X be a strongly zero-dimensional space such that $z_{\beta}^{-1}(X)$ is the minimal cloz-coevr of X, where ($E_{cc}({\beta}X)$, $z_{\beta}$) is the minimal cloz-cover of ${\beta}X$. We show that the minimal cloz-cover $E_{cc}(X)$ of X is a subspace of the Stone space $S(\mathcal{G}(z_X))$ of $\mathcal{G}(z_X)$ and that $E_{cc}(X)$ is a strongly zero-dimensional space if and only if ${\beta}E_{cc}(X)$ and $S(\mathcal{G}(z_X))$ are homeomorphic. Using these, we show that $E_{cc}(X)$ is a strongly zero-dimensional space and $\mathcal{G}(z_X)=\mathcal{G}(X)$ if and only if ${\beta}E_{cc}(X)=E_{cc}({\beta}X)$.

In this paper, we construct a cover ($\mathcal{L}(X)$, $c_X$) of a space X such that for any cloz-cover (Y, f) of X, there is a covering map g : $Y{\longrightarrow}\mathcal{L}(X)$ with $c_X{\circ}g=f$. Using this, we show that every Tychonoff space X has a minimal cloz-cover ($E_{cc}(X)$, $z_X$) and that for a strongly zero-dimensional space X, ${\beta}E_{cc}(X)=E_{cc}({\beta}X)$ if and only if $E_{cc}(X)$ is $z^{\sharp}$-embedded in $E_{cc}({\beta}X)$.

In this paper, we investigate $T_1$ Boolean subalgebras of the Boolean algebra consisting all regular closed sets in a space and their Wallman covers. In particular, we will give sufficient and necessary conditions of spaces X satisfying ${\beta}E_{cc}(X)=E_{cc}({\beta}X)$.

Observing that for any dense weakly Lindelof subspace of a space Y, X is $Z^{#}$ -embedded in Y, we show that for any weakly Lindelof space X, the minimal Cloz-cover ($E_{cc}$(X), $z_{X}$) of X is given by $E_{cc}$(X) = {(\alpha, \chi$) : $\alpha$ is a G(X)-ultrafilter on X with $\chi\in\cap\alpha$}, $z_{X}$=(($\alpha, \chi$))=$\chi$, $z_{X}$ is $Z^{#}$ -irreducible and $E_{cc}$(X) is a dense subspace of $E_{cc}$($\beta$X).

In this paper, we introduce a concept of quasi $O_{z}$ -spaces which generalizes that of $O_{z}$ -spaces. Indeed, a completely regular space X is a quasi $O_{z}$ -space if for any regular closed set A in X, there is a zero-set Z in X with A = c $l_{x}$ (in $t_{x}$ (Z)). We then show that X is a quasi $O_{z}$ -space iff every open subset of X is $Z^{#}$-embedded and that X is a quasi $O_{z}$ -spaces are left fitting with respect to covering maps. Observing that a quasi $O_{z}$ -space is an extremally disconnected iff it is a cloz-space, the minimal extremally disconnected cover, basically disconnected cover, quasi F-cover, and cloz-cover of a quasi $O_{z}$ -space X are all equivalent. Finally it is shown that a compactification Y of a quasi $O_{z}$ -space X is again a quasi $O_{z}$ -space iff X is $Z^{#}$-embedded in Y. For the terminology, we refer to [6].[6].

In this paper, we first show that $z_{{\kappa}X}:E_{cc}({\kappa}X){\rightarrow}{\kappa}X$ is $z^{\sharp}$-irreducible and that if $\mathcal{G}(E_{cc}({\beta}X))$ is a base for closed sets in ${\beta}X$, then $E_{cc}({\kappa}X)$ is $C^*$-embedded in $E_{cc}({\beta}X)$, where ${\kappa}X$ is the extension of X such that $vX{\subseteq}{\kappa}X{\subseteq}{\beta}X$ and ${\kappa}X$ is weakly Lindel$\ddot{o}$f. Using these, we will show that if $\mathcal{G}({\beta}X)$ is a base for closed sets in ${\beta}X$ and for any weakly Lindel$\ddot{o}$f space Y with $X{\subseteq}Y{\subseteq}{\kappa}X$, ${\kappa}X=Y$, then $kE_{cc}(X)=E_{cc}({\kappa}X)$ if and only if ${\beta}E_{cc}(X)=E_{cc}({\beta}X)$.

Observing that for any $\beta_c$-Wallman functor $A$ and any Tychonoff space X, there is a cover $(C_1(A(X), X), c_1)$ of X such that X is $A$-disconnected if and only if $c_1 : C_1(A(X), X) \longrightarrow X$ is a homeomorphism, we show that every Tychonoff space has the minimal $A$-disconnected cover. We also show that if X is weakly Lindelof or locally compact zero-dimensional space, then the minimal G-disconnected (equivalently, cloz)-cover is given by the space $C_1(A(X), X)$ which is a dense subspace of $E_cc(\betaX)$.
