Filter regular sequences and generalized local cohomology modules
  Let $\frak a$, $\frak b$ be ideals of a commutative Noetherian ring $R$ and let $M$, $N$ be finite $R$-modules. The concept of an $\frak a$-filter grade of $\frak b$ on $M$ is introduced and several characterizations and properties of this notion are given. Then, using the above characterizations, we obtain some results on generalized local cohomology modules $H^i_{\frak a}(M, N)$. In particular, first we determine the least integer $i$ for which $H^i_{\frak a}(M, N)$ is not Artinian. Then we prove that $H^i_{\frak a}(M, N)$ is Artinian for all $i\in\mathbb N_0$ if and only if $\dim{R}/({\frak a+Ann M+Ann N})=0$. Also, we establish the Nagel-Schenzel formula for generalized local cohomology modules. Finally, in a certain case, the set of attached primes of $H^i_{\frak a}(M, N)$ is determined and a comparison between this set and the set of attached primes of $H^i_{\frak a}(N)$ is given.
