CONTAM User Guide and Program Documentation -Acknowledgements

Much of the work that went into developing this version of CONTAM was sponsored by the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division under Military Interdepartmental Purchase Request # N00178-05-MP-00139. The authors appreciate the interest and input of Kathrina Urann, Matthew Wolski and the entire IBTK team throughout this project. The authors would like to acknowledge the programming skills of Brian Polidoro for his work on the CONTAM user interface, SimReadW and ContamRV, as well as his efforts in developing and maintaining the NIST IAQAnalysis Website. We would further like to acknowledge the testing of the beta versions of the software by the following people: NIST student interns Ryan Berke, Jacob Weber, Ivette Morazzani, and David Heinzerling; Steven Strege and Terry Fay of Hughes Associates Inc.; James Odasso and Kevin Good of Battelle Columbus; and Dr. Fred Loquasto III of Toyon Research Corporation. We also appreciate the continued collaboration with John Goforth and Mike Mercer of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in developing the socket communication capabilities of CONTAM.
