Video: How to Restore an Earthquake-Destroyed UNESCO Heritage Palace
Originally built in 1908, Gaddi Baithak reflects the influence that European architecture had on Nepal at that time.

Video: Science to Reveal How Long Highway Construction Should Actually Take
The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) tasked a team of Purdue University engineers with collecting data on concrete maturity through select highway patching and paving projects. The team will use the data to provide a new evidence-based recommendation on the optimal time to open up traffic following a construction project, which would save time and reduce traffic slowdowns. Purdue engineering researchers are collecting data through piezoelectric sensors designed to track concrete s...

Video: Texas DOT Explains Why Its Bridges Are ‘Bat-Friendly’
Engineers working for the Texas Department of Transportation are trying to make the state’s bridges and related infrastructure more hospital to bats for a number of reasons as the nocturnal flying rodents help to naturally suppress the insect population without the use of pesticides while acting as pollinators to assist in flowering plant reproduction. In fact, over 500 plant species rely on bats to pollinate their flowers – including species of mango, banana, durian, guava and agave, which i...

Video: Dam Threatens Last Tribes of Ethiopia
Donate: http://www.miyamotorelief.org/cause/s... In Ethiopia’s Omo Valley, several indigenous tribes have lived for millenniums. For eons, the annual flooding of the Omo River has provided the water they need to survive the harsh climate. A new, $1.6 billion, 1870-megawatt dam built upstream cut off the water supply in 2016 to the tribes, now numbering about 200,000 people. While the dam is a great engineering feat, these indigenous tribes’ lives, culture and traditions are in danger of being...
