... we saw that with genomics, there has been twice the amount of genetic gain realized for [protein] yield in terms of standard units.... we can see that the combined gain for [protein] yield during the five years prior to genomics was 11. 8 kg, or around 2. 4 kg per year. In the past five years with genomics, the combined gain was 24 kg, or 4. 8 kg per year. This means that females born in the last 5 years in a herd with average management are expected to have 305 day lactation yields that increase roughly 5 kg per year, on average. In this case, double the genetic gain translates into double the performance increase for protein yield. 3, record 1, English, - genetic%20gain

[...] nous observons qu'avec la génomique, le gain génétique réalisé pour le rendement en protéine exprimé en unités standard a doublé. [...] nous pouvons voir que le gain combiné pour le rendement en protéine pendant les cinq ans précédant la génomique était de 11,8 kg ou d'environ 2,4 kg par année. Cela signifie que les femelles nées au cours des cinq dernières années dans un troupeau doté d'une gestion moyenne devraient afficher des rendements en lait de 305 jours qui augmentent d'environ 5 kg par année, en moyenne. Dans ce cas, le double du gain génétique entraîne le double de l'augmentation de la performance en matière de rendement en protéine. 2, record 1, French, - gain%20g%C3%A9n%C3%A9tique

The EXPRESS Rack concept was derived from the researchers’ desire to have a simple hardware interface and a streamlined process to get their experiments to orbit quickly. The EXPRESS Rack provides simple, standard interfaces. Two types of payload accommodations are offered : Middeck Locker type interfaces and International Subrack Interface Standard drawer interfaces. Middeck Locker interfaces are offered to allow payloads(a middeck locker or equivalent replacement container) that have previously flown in the shuttle middeck, Spacelab, SpaceHab, or MIR to transition to ISS [International Space Station] using the same interface. Eight single middeck locker positions are offered by the EXPRESS Rack. Single, double, or quad equivalent containers may be accommodated by the EXPRESS Rack in the locker positions. 2, record 3, English, - middeck%20locker%20interface
