Acknowledgements

Many other researchers have generously offered technical resources and expertise which have resulted in significant enhancements to the TetrUSS system. Their contributions are greatfully appreciated.

The list of contributors to the TetrUSS project is always expanding. We have made every effort to include those who have made substantial contributions, either from direct code enhancements or through feedback from code testing and calibration. Your patience is appreciated as we attempt to keep this list up to date.
