On-site wastewater treatment facilities (WWTFs) collect, treat, and dispose wastewater from dwellings that are not connected to municipal wastewater collection and treatment systems. They serve about 25% of the total population in the United States from an estimated 26 million homes, businesses, and recreational facilities nationwide. There is currently no adequate coordinated information management system for on-site WWTFs. Given the increasing concern about environmental contamination and its effect on public health, it is necessary to provide a more adequate management tool for on-site WWTFs information. This paper presents the development of an integrated, GIS-based, on-site wastewater information management system, which includes three components: (1) a mobile GIS for field data collection; (2) a World Wide Web (WWW) interface for electronic submission of individual WWTF information to a centralized GIS database in a state department of public health or state environmental protection agency; and (3) a GIS for the display and management of on-site WWTFs information, along with other spatial information such as land use, soil types, streams, and topography. It is anticipated that this GIS-based on-site wastewater information management system will provide environmental protection agencies and public health organizations with a spatial framework for managing on-site WWTFs and assessing the risks related to surface discharges.

As the current regulatory requirements of automobile disassembly and recycling are becoming strict increasingly, it is necessary to focus on environmental protection in the processing and information management system of disassembly and recycling. This paper studies on the information management method and system implementation of disassembly and recycling processing of automotive products. Firstly, the concept of parts-disassembly level is put forward and the level planning model is built together with the confirmed methods of parts-disassembly level scheme by LCIA. Then, a management system platform for disassembly process of automotive products is developed. Finally, the feasibility and availability of this system is verified by the application example of the disassembly level for a certain type automobile.

Summary Objectives: In our department, we have been using an Anesthesia Information Management System (AIMS) for five years. In this study, we tested to what extent data extracted from the AIMS could be suitable for the supervision and time-management of operating rooms. Methods: From 1995 to 1999, all relevant data from 103,264 anesthetic procedures were routinely recorded online with the automatic anesthesia record keeping system NarkoData. The program is designed to record patient related time data, such as the beginning of anesthesia or surgical procedure, on a graphical anesthesia record sheet. The total number of minutes of surgery and anesthesia for each surgical subspecialty per hour/day and day of the year was calculated for each of the more than 40 ORs, amounting to a total of 112 workstations. Results: It was possible to analyze the usage and the utilization of ORs at the hospital for each day of the year since 1997. In addition, annual and monthly evaluations are made available. It is possible to scrutinize data of OR usage from different points of view: queries on the usage of an individual OR, the usage of ORs on certain days or the usage of ORs by a certain surgical subspecialty may be formulated. These data has been used repeatedly in our hospital for decision making in OR management and planning. Conclusions: In assessing the results of our study, it should be considered that the system used is not a specialized OR management tool. Despite these restrictions, the system contains data which can be used for an exact and relevant presentation of OR utilization

For the demands of unit equipment management under the new situation, equipment management system model was constructed based on Internet of Things, building programs of equipment information management system was put forward based on the system. Information sensing device are combined with inside LAN, which forms a comprehensive equipment information management network in the program, system software uses SQLserver as a database management tool and structure uses B/S architecture. The system is significant in improving the efficiency and level of equipment management.

Seawall is an important barrier of Zhejiang coastal strip. To effectively manage the information of maritime work in Zhejiang and convert the traditional management into the modern management, the information management system of maritime work based on GIS is developed. Take Kaomen seawall for example, the overall structure of information management system based on GIS is designed, focusing on the data entry, spatial attribute show, spatial attribute query, spatial information statistics and analysis. This design plays a significant role in the flood control and disaster reduction in the future, making the information management of maritime work convenient and practical.
