This thesis examines the use of electrical resistivity surveys and ground-penetrating radar to characterize groundwater-surface water interaction at Mirror Lake, New Hampshire. Resistivity surveys using both surface-towed and stationary cables identified geological heterogeneities controlling seepage. Intermediate resistivity values of around 1500 ohm-meters correlated with the highest measured seepage rates. Low resistivity values below 200 ohm-meters indicated organic matter deposits with low seepage. High resistivity values over 3000 ohm-meters represented poorly-sorted till with low seepage. Resistivity also imaged a plume of road salt contamination. Ground-penetrating radar identified an organic matter blanket at the lake bottom and confirmed

This report explores employee rewards in the UK workplace. It finds that two-thirds of employees received some form of reward in 2015, most commonly cash bonuses, overtime pay, and verbal thanks from managers. Younger employees aged 18-24 were least likely to receive rewards. While rewards can motivate engaged employees, they do not boost engagement on their own - employees must be engaged first. Verbal thanks from managers are highly valued rewards across genders and ages. The report concludes rewards are important for motivation but individual engagement of disengaged employees must also be addressed, and non-monetary rewards like thanks can be as or more impactful than cash.

adequately identify the location of the calling party. The
street address of the calling party must be validated
and, to the extent possible, corroborated against other
location information prior to delivery of dispatchable
location information by the CMRS provider to the PSAP.
8. Dispatchable Location
What does this mean?
The familiar coordinate format:
27.894127, -82.789527
Will change to:
10750 Ulmerton Rd, Bldg 1, Suite 180A, Room 201
and still be delivered in the familiar ALI format
9. Dispatchable Location
Dispatchable Locations must be validated with
local databases, just like they are for wireline
customers.
This process will eliminate location mismatches
like the “registered address” on VoIP phones
10. FOURTH REPORT AND ORDER
E911 Location Accuracy Requirements
Horizontal Location
• All CMRS providers must provide (1) dispatchable
location, or (2) x/y location within 50 meters, for the
following percentages of 911 calls within the following
timeframes, measured from the effective date of rules
adopted in this Order (“Effective Date”):
– Within 2 years: 40 percent of all wireless 911 calls
– Within 3 years: 50 percent of all wireless 911 calls
– Within 5 years: 70 percent of all wireless 911 calls
– Within 6 years: 80 percent of all wireless 911 calls
Compliance will be measured
on actual 911 call data.
11. FOURTH REPORT AND ORDER
E911 Location Accuracy Requirements
Vertical Location
• All CMRS providers must also meet the following
requirements for provision of vertical location
information with wireless 911 calls, within the following
timeframes measured from the Effective Date:
– Within 3 years: All CMRS providers must make
uncompensated barometric data available to PSAPs from
any handset that has the capability to deliver barometric
sensor data.
– Within 3 years: Nationwide CMRS providers must use an
independently administered and transparent test bed to
develop a proposed z-axis accuracy metric,
and must submit the proposed metric to
the Commission for approval.
12. FOURTH REPORT AND ORDER
E911 Location Accuracy Requirements
Vertical Location
– Within 6 years: Nationwide CMRS providers must
deploy either (1) dispatchable location or (2) z-axis
technology that achieves the Commission-
approved z-axis metric, in each of the top
25 Cellular Market Areas (CMAs).
– Within 8 years: Nationwide CMRS providers must
deploy dispatchable location or z-axis technology in
accordance with the above benchmarks
in the top 50 Cellular Market Areas.

16. FOURTH REPORT AND ORDER
Reporting and Compliance Measures
• “Compliance with the above metrics will be determined
by reference to quarterly live 911 call data reported by
CMRS providers in six cities and their surrounding areas
that have been determined to be representative of
dense urban, urban, suburban, and rural areas
nationally.”
• “PSAPs will be entitled to obtain live call data from
CMRS providers and seek Commission enforcement of
these requirements”
San Francisco, Chicago, Atlanta, Denver/Front Range, Philadelphia, and Manhattan Borough, New York City
17. FOURTH REPORT AND ORDER
Improving the delivery of Phase II location information
“In addition, we revise our regulatory framework for
all 911 calls, both indoor and outdoor, as follows:
– We adopt a 30-second limit on the time period
allowed for a CRMS provider to generate a location fix
in order for the 911 call to be counted towards
compliance testing with existing Phase II location
accuracy requirements that rely on outdoor testing,
but we do not extend this provision to the new
indoor-focused requirements adopted in this order.”
18. FOURTH REPORT AND ORDER
Improving the delivery of Phase II location information
– “We require that confidence and uncertainty
data for the all wireless 911 calls – whether
placed from indoors or outdoors – be delivered
at the request of the PSAP, on a per-call basis,
with a uniform confidence level of 90 percent.”
“Confidence and Uncertainty (C/U) data reflects the level of
confidence that a specific 911 caller is within a specified distance
of the location that the carrier provides. Confidence is expressed
as percentage, indicating the statistical probability that the caller
is within the area defined by the “uncertainty” statistical
estimate, while uncertainty is expressed as a radius
in meters around the reported position. “

19. FOURTH REPORT AND ORDER
Improving the delivery of Phase II location information
– “We require that confidence and uncertainty
data for the all wireless 911 calls – whether
placed from indoors or outdoors – be delivered
at the request of the PSAP, on a per-call basis,
with a uniform confidence level of 90 percent.”
20. FOURTH REPORT AND ORDER
Improving the delivery of Phase II location information
– “We require CMRS providers to provide 911 call
data, including (1) the percentage of wireless 911
calls to the PSAP that include Phase II location
information, and (2) per-call identification of the
positioning source method or methods used to
derive location coordinates and/or dispatchable
location, to any requesting PSAP. Compliance with
the 30-second time limit will also be measured from
this data. “
– “We require all CMRS providers to collect and retain
for two years 911 call tracking data for all wireless
911 calls placed on their network.”
