Artinian quotient rings of filtered rings (Q1320261)

Let \(R\) be a noetherian ring with a regular normal element \(x\) satisfying \(\cap x^ i R = 0\). If \(R/xR\) has an artinian ring of quotients then so does \(R\). As application it is proved that \(R\) has an artinian ring of quotients if \(R\) is a right Zariski ring and the associated graded ring \(G(R)\) has an artinian ring of quotients.
