A Web-based database system is designed and implemented in this paper which brings out the heat flow map for the Indian region. The Database is linked to carry out the computations and get thermal structure, lithospheric thickness across a few selected regions of India together with the uncertainties associated with the model parameters which can give the error estimate to the associated temperatures. This Web portal allows the user to just click on any region and get the subsurface thermal parameters and the thermal structure of that particular region where ever the data is available. It is developed based on MySQL for database and (Hypertext Preprocessor) php scripting language, JavaScript, (Cascading Style Sheets) CSS for application and web page designing, and leaflet for mapping. The data required are compiled from the peer-reviewed published literature, technical reports, and from different thesis on thermal data for the Indian region and stored in a centralized location called the database. The present system is built on the three-tier architecture wherein it has the presentation, application logic, and data management which gives the heat flow values at almost 170 locations in the Indian region and the thermal structure at some locations. Further, the data shall be added to the database for more locations as and when the data is available.

Aim: To improve workflow and usability by introduction of a new electronic patient record (EPR) and database. Methods: Establishment of an EPR based on open source technology (MySQL database and PI-IP scriptinglanguage) in a tertiary care andrology center at a university clinic. Workflow analysis, a benchmark comparing the two systems and a survey for usability and ergonomics were carried out. Results: Workflow optimizations (electronic ordering of laboratory analysis, elimination of transcription steps and automated referral letters) and the decrease in time required for data entry per patient to 71% ± 27%, P 〈 0.05, lead to a workload reduction. The benchmark showed a significant performance increase (highest with starting the respective system: 1.3 ± 0.2 s vs. 11.1 ± 0.2 s, mean ± SD). In the survey, users rated the new system at least two ranks higher over its predecessor (P 〈 0.01) in all sub-areas. Conclusion: With further improvements, today's EPR can evolve to substitute paper records, saving time (and possibly costs), supporting user satisfaction and expanding the basis for scientific evaluation when more data is electronically available. Newly introduced systems should be versatile, adaptable for users, and workflow-oriented to yield the highest benefit. If ready-made software is purchased, customization should be implemented during rollout. (Asian J Andro12006 Mar; 8: 235-241)
