The concave portion (1A) is defined by the back face wall (4), the side face wall (6), and the upper face wall (5), and is open on three sides where the remaining faces of the case (2a) are located at the time of attachment.

Abstract: The one aspect of the present invention aims to provide a novel cloning method for human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs), which method is based on culture of dispersed single cells without addition of an apoptotic agent. More specifically, the one aspect of the present invention aims to provide a cloning method for hESCs and hiPSCs based on culture of dispersed single cells utilizing shear stress. The above problem is solved by providing a method for culturing dispersed single pluripotent cells, wherein the dispersed single cells are cultured under laminar flow conditions.

Abstract: A measure selecting apparatus determines whether a vulnerability of a resource employed in a predetermined task has been addressed or not based on information stored in a memory. When the vulnerability of the resource is determined not to have been addressed and when a recovery time defined in the memory corresponding to the resource is longer than a predetermined time, the measure selecting apparatus evaluates measures defined in the memory corresponding to the vulnerability determined not to have been addressed, and calculates an evaluation value of each measure. The measure selecting apparatus selects a measure with a high evaluation value.
