Cold forming has required considerably superior hard coating on a die to manufacture net-shaped products.Especially, under poor lubrication conditions or a dry condition, the hard coating is indispensable for the success of manufacturing.Accordingly, the die has required the superior hard coating to prevent adhesion, reduce friction, and control we

Mutations in CuZn-superoxide dismutase (CuZn-SOD) have been linked to ALS.In most cases ALS is inherited as a dominant trait and there is marked reduction in CuZn-SOD activity in samples from the patients.The D90A mutation, however, mostly causes ALS as a recessive trait and shows near normal CuZn-SOD activity.A few familial and sporadic ALS cases
