Abstract: A brassiere according to one embodiment of the present invention is a clothing article having cup parts for covering the breasts, the clothing article having cup hollow parts each of which is provided along a lower edge of the cup part and has a curved shape, the lower edge portion necessitating a small tensile strength for expanding a space between a front center extremity and a side extremity of the curved shape against a retaining force of the lower edge portion of the curved shape; and expansion suppressing parts each of which extends from a front center end to a side end of the lower edge portion along a shape of the cup part in a lower part of the cup part, has a non-stretchable or poorly-stretchable characteristic, and suppresses expansion of the space between the front center extremity and the side extremity of the lower edge portion.

Abstract: A pad material includes a urethane material satisfying LC?1 and RC?80 where LC represents compression hardness and RC represents compression resilience. In a garment with cup sections in which a pad including the pad material is disposed at least in a lower cup section, it is possible to control clothing pressure applied to lower parts of a bust from the lower cup section and to reduce a total amount of the clothing pressure applied to the bust. Furthermore, flexibility, lightweightness, and fluffiness of the cup sections are enhanced and both shapeability of the bust and comfortability can be achieved.

Abstract: A garment provided with cup sections includes: a first part on a front side including a pair of cup sections and a front side base section to support a lower edge portion side of the cup section; and a second part on a skin side including a pair of pad sections and a skin side base section to support a lower edge portion side of the pad section. A side portion of the front side base section and a side portion of the skin side base section are connected and thereby the first part and the second part are coupled to each other. The first part is movable upward, downward, forward, and backward relative to the second part.

Abstract: A garment 1 having a cup part in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention comprises a brassiere part 20 having a pair of cup parts 21 for covering breasts, while being substantially free of a back part encircling a back to support the pair of cup parts 21, and a main part 10 incorporating the brassiere part 20 therein. The brassiere part 20 is provided so as to join to left and right side parts of the main part 10, while remaining parts are free from the main part 10. The main part 10 has a tightening part 11 covering at least lower and side regions of the brassiere part 20 out of peripheral regions of the pair of cup parts 21, and encircling a torso.

Abstract: Expression of a desired gene and production of a product from the desired gene can be obtained effectively by cultivating a microorganism containing a hybrid plasmid comprising the desired gene, a vector and a promoter in its cell, and adding an inducer and a nutriment simultaneously to the culture medium at the time when the nutriment originally present in the culture medium is almost consumed.
