Every year, Hoosiers are dealing with the same headache - potholes. Indianapolis Department of Public Works crews across the state fill tens of thousands every year, but they always come right back. In fact, new research shows 40% of U.S. roads are in poor condition, costing drivers $141 billion a year, which is about $621 per driver. 13News asked an expert at Purdue University’s Lyles School of Civil Engineering what makes our roads so bad. “It really impacts our lives in a lot of ways,” said Luna Lu, associate professor and an American Concrete Pavement Association Scholar at the school. Lu said our road conditions really depend on three things: traffic volume, weather and premature exposure to newly paved roads.

African swine fever, a highly contagious swine disease, is in the Dominican Republic. The disease does not infect people, but it can wipe out pork production in a region. Quick identification and containment are key to stopping its spread, and a team of Purdue University researchers are developing a rapid, pen-side test for the disease. The National Animal Health Laboratory Network and the National Animal Disease Preparedness and Response Program has provided $1 million to Mohit Verma, assistant professor of agricultural and biological engineering at Purdue, for the project.

The Purdue Research Foundation Office of Technology Commercialization has awarded more than $143,000 from the Trask Innovation Fund across three projects, including one involving researchers in the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine and the College of Engineering. That project is being led by Dr. Deborah Knapp, Distinguished Professor of Comparative Oncology and director of the Purdue Comparative Oncology Program, and Dr. Saeed Mohammadi, professor of electrical and computer engineering. Working as co-primary investigators, the pair is seeking to develop a faster, noninvasive and low-cost cancer screening technique.

Sandy Taylor, DVM, PhD, DACVIM-LAIM: One of [the common causes of death in horses] is exercise-associated death. That's typically seen in racehorses and high-level performance horses, and those are typically due to pulmonary hemorrhage or some underlying heart disease...There are several studies that have been done looking at sudden death in racehorses, but most of the time, there's some acute hemorrhage, usually in the lungs.
