description: Bound state in continuum (BIC) might appear in open quantum dots for variation of the dot's shape. By means of the equations of motion of Green functions we investigate effect of strong intradot Coulomb interactions on that phenomenon in the framework of impurity Anderson model. Equation that imaginary part of poles of the Green function equals to zero gives condition for BICs. As a result we show that Coulomb interactions replicate the single-electron BICs into two-electron ones.

description: X-ray observations of kilo-parsec scale jets indicate that a synchrotron origin of the sustained non-thermal emission is likely. This requires distributed acceleration of electrons up to near PeV energies along the jet. The underlying acceleration mechanism is still unclear. Shear acceleration is a promising candidate, as velocity-shear stratification is a natural consequence of the collimated flow of a jet. We study the details of shear acceleration by solving the steady-state Fokker-Planck-type equation and provide a simple general solution for trans-relativistic jets for a range of magnetohydrodynamic turbulent power-law spectra. In general, the accelerated particle population is a power-law spectrum with an exponential-like cut-off, where the power-law index is determined by the turbulence spectrum and the balance of escape and acceleration of particles. Adopting a simple linearly decreasing velocity profile in the boundary of large-scale jets, we find that the multi-wavelength spectral energy distribution of X-ray jets, such as Centaurus A and 3C 273, can be reproduced with electrons that are accelerated up to $\sim$ PeV. In kpc-scale jets, protons may be accelerated up to $\sim$ EeV, supporting the hypothesis that large-scale jets are strong candidates for ultra-high-energy-cosmic-ray sources within the framework of shear acceleration.

Conversion of just-continuous metallic films to large particulate substrates for metal-enhanced fluorescence

description: We report the effects of thermally annealing, non-, just-, and thick continuous silver films for their potential applications in metal-enhanced fluorescence, a near-field concept which can alter the free-space absorption and emissive properties of close-proximity fluorophores (excited states). We have chosen to anneal a noncontinuous particulate film 5nm thick and two thicker continuous films, 15 and 25nm thick, respectively. Our results show that the annealing of the 25nm film has little effect on close-proximity fluorescence when coated with a monolayer of fluorophore-labeled protein. However, the 15nm continuous film cracks upon annealing, producing large nanoparticles which are ideal for enhancing the fluorescence of close-proximity fluorophores that are indeed difficult to prepare by other wet-chemical deposition processes. The annealing of 5nm noncontinuous particulate films (a control sample) has little influence on metal-enhanced fluorescence, as expected.
INTEGRATED COMPUTATIONAL/EXPERIMENTAL APPROACHES TO THE STUDY OF THE OXIDATIVE CHEMISTRY OF PHENOLIC SYSTEMS

description: 5,6-Dihydroxyindole belongs to a unique group of naturally occurring indole compounds which have intrigued generations of organic and natural product chemists because of their central role in the biosynthesis of eumelanins, the major determinants of human skin, hair and eye pigmentation.
The unique status of eumelanins among natural pigments is due to their socio-economic and biomedical relevance, encompassing racial pigmentation, skin photoprotection, sun tanning and pigmentary disorders such as albinism, vitiligo and melanoma.
Despite many decades of work within the organic chemistry, biophysics and pigment cell communities, eumelanin structure remains virtually unknown, because of the marked chemical heterogeneity and the lack of well defined physicochemical properties, preventing successful application of spectroscopic techniques.
In the present thesis, the chemistry of 5,6-dihydroxyindole has been investigated by combining and integrating the information provided by computational and experimental methodologies. This approach has proved useful to address and settle many open issues concerning the mechanisms of oxidative polymerization of 5,6-dihydroxyindoles and the basic features of eumelanin builiding blocks.
Folding and unfolding kinetics of a single semiflexible polymer

description: We theoretically investigate the kinetics of the folding transition of a single semiflexible polymer. In the folding transition, the growth rate decrease with an increase in the number of monomers in a collapsed domain, suggesting that the main contribution to dissipation is from the motion of the domain. In the unfolding transition, dynamic scaling exponents, 1/8 and 1/4, were determined for disentanglement and relaxation steps, respectively. We performed Langevin dynamics simulations to test our theory. It is found that our theory is in good agreement with simulations. We also propose the kinetics of the transitions in the presence of the hydrodynamic interaction.

description: We have developed a classical two- and three-body interaction potential to simulate the hydroxylated, natively oxidised Si surface in contact with water solutions, based on the combination and extension of the Stillinger-Weber potential and of a potential originally developed to simulate SiO2 polymorphs. The potential parameters are chosen to reproduce the structure, charge distribution, tensile surface stress and interactions with single water molecules of a natively oxidised Si surface model previously obtained by means of accurate density functional theory simulations. We have applied the potential to the case of hydrophilic silicon wafer bonding at room temperature, revealing maximum room temperature work of adhesion values for natively oxidised and amorphous silica surfaces of 97 mJ/m2 and 90mJ/m2, respectively, at a water adsorption coverage of approximately 1 monolayer. The difference arises from the stronger interaction of the natively oxidised surface with liquid water, resulting in a higher heat of immersion (203 mJ/m2 vs. 166 mJ/m2), and may be explained in terms of the more pronounced water structuring close to the surface in alternating layers of larger and smaller density with respect to the liquid bulk. The computed force-displacement bonding curves may be a useful input for cohesive zone models where both the topographic details of the surfaces and the dependence of the attractive force on the initial surface separation and wetting can be taken into account.
PROSPETTIVE DEL FEDERALISMO FISCALE IN RELAZIONE ALLA SALVAGUARDIA DEI TERRITORI CON PARTICOLARE RIFERIMENTO ALLE PROBLEMATICHE FISCALI E TRIBUTARIE AMBIENTALI

description: L’elaborato dal titolo: “Prospettive del federalismo fiscale in relazione alla salvaguardia dei territori, con particolare riferimento alle problematiche fiscali e tributarie ambientali”, analizza il comportamento del Legislatore italiano sia nazionale che regionale nella regolamentazione della materia ambientale, verificando le possibili utilizzazioni della leva fiscale in un quadro normativo di evidente complessità.
Partendo dall’analisi del comportamento del Legislatore italiano, si approfondiscono le tematiche relative alla cd. “Fiscalità ambientale” ed alla sua fondamentale importanza nel periodo attuale proprio per la costruzione di un preciso quadro normativo che possa effettivamente garantire la “sostenibilità ambientale” pur nella consapevolezza delle difficoltà in cui spesso il Legislatore deve operare,  a causa sia della evidente “spigolosità” della materia e sia per i continui influssi del Legislatore europeo.
Viene altresì analizzata anche la legislazione ambientale in Europa, con particolare riferimento all’esperienza spagnola, che per alcuni aspetti relativamente alla normazione sulla fiscalità ambientale si mostra all’avanguardia rispetto al nostro Paese seppure anche essa si muova in una difficile architettura normativa tra legislazione europea e spinte federaliste.
Si evidenzia infine come il procedimento federalista in atto nel nostro Paese, con una auspicabile riforma organica in materia di attribuzione delle competenze alle Regioni dopo la Riforma costituzionale del 2001, possa effettivamente consentire un concreto sviluppo della fiscalità ambientale.

description: This deliverable, D8.3 Database Development, is an essential requirement to meet the project’s ambitions. The primary purpose of D8.3 (Database Development) is to create a standardized and user-friendly database that integrates and storage data provided by the contributors of this deliverable and generated in the framework of the SBA project; related to ecosystem services, particularly in the context of sustainable land management and biofuel production. This database aims to facilitate the collection and exchange of diverse data sources, including remote sensing and ground-based data, to enhance knowledge creation and support decision-making processes.We have successfully developed a database that features an intuitive interface, allowing users with varying levels of technical expertise to access and contribute data easily (it is possible to perform various operations such as inserting, updating, deleting, downloading and relocating new and pre- existing files in the database).In terms of size, the database is structured to handle large volumes of data efficiently, facilitating data exchange and avoiding duplication. These data, which represent approximately 8GB in the database (compressed to binary to occupy the smallest space), range from the data of the different samples carried out in the framework of the project to geospatial information including species habitability maps, the models used and their results as well as other similar data types (with their corresponding metadata). This organisation of the data can be clearly seen in Analysis of the datasets from the contributors and more clearly in Figure 2.At a top level, the project involved collaboration between EVENOR, CSIC, NUST and BITRI for a period of 24 months. A meticulous approach was applied to ensure that the database was robust, scalable and compliant with the requirements of the European Commission COM(2012) 46.

description: While supernova remnants have been identified as the most likely sources of the galactic cosmic rays, no conclusive observational evidence for this association exists. We show here that IceCube has the possibility of producing incontrovertible evidence by detecting neutrinos produced by the cosmic ray beam interacting with the hydrogen in the vicinity of the supernova shock expanding into the interstellar medium. We show that the observational information on gamma ray fluxes from the Cygnus region, although limited, is sufficient to pinpoint the expected event rate of the neutrinos associated with a single source of 0.5 Crab at the TeV level to within a factor of two, between 2 and 3.8 neutrinos per year. Finally, we note that recent gamma-ray observations reveal the presence of at least three and possibly up to eight such sources, raising the possibility of seeing more than 10 neutrinos per year from these sources alone.

description: We introduce a notion of left-symmetric bialgebra which is an analogue of the notion of Lie bialgebra. We prove that a left-symmetric bialgebra is equivalent to a symplectic Lie algebra with a decomposition into a direct sum of the underlying vector spaces of two Lagrangian subalgebras. The latter is called a parakähler Lie algebra or a phase space of a Lie algebra in mathematical physics. We introduce and study coboundary left-symmetric bialgebras and our study leads to what we call "$S$-equation", which is an analogue of the classical Yang-Baxter equation. In a certain sense, the $S$-equation associated to a left-symmetric algebra reveals the left-symmetry of the products. We show that a symmetric solution of the $S$-equation gives a parakähler Lie algebra. We also show that such a solution corresponds to the symmetric part of a certain operator called "${\cal O}$-operator", whereas a skew-symmetric solution of the classical Yang-Baxter equation corresponds to the skew-symmetric part of an ${\cal O}$-operator. Thus a method to construct symmetric solutions of the $S$-equation (hence parakähler Lie algebras) from ${\cal O}$-operators is provided. Moreover, by comparing left-symmetric bialgebras and Lie bialgebras, we observe that there is a clear analogue between them and, in particular, parakähler Lie groups correspond to Poisson-Lie groups in this sense.

Connettività inter-emisferica: studio integrato mediante trattografia e Risonanza Funzionale nei Soggetti Normali ed in  pazienti con Agenesia del Corpo Calloso
Creators: name: Ferraioli, Marco

description: L’agenesia del corpo calloso è una patologia congenita poco frequente, ad eziologia idiopatica o genetica, in cui connessioni anomale tra le fibre della sostanza bianca encefalica si vengono a stabilire per il fallimento del loro incrocio attraverso la linea mediana.
E' stato applicata una combinazione di studio trattografico (DTI-FT) e funzionale (f-MRI) a dieci soggetti normali ed a tre pazienti con agenesia del corpo calloso (1 con agenesia parziale e 2 con agenesia totale aventi anche una storia comiziale).
I risultati ottenuti hanno mostrato un conservato sincronismo funzionale nell’attività corticale nel paziente con agenesia parziale ed in uno dei pazienti con agenesia totale del corpo calloso, in quest'ultimo caso a dispetto dell’assenza di interconnessioni anatomiche dirette attraverso il corpo calloso stesso; inoltre si è evidenziato con interesse come il paziente epilettico con migliore e diffusa correlazione funzionale tra aree corticali omologhe dei due emisferi, che non presentava eterotopie di sostanza grigia (era presente una limitata area micropoligirica parietale sinistra), fosse quello che presentava una forma di epilessia con maggiore tendenza alla generalizzazione.
Le osservazioni suddette, oltre a confermare come il corpo calloso non rappresenti una struttura anatomica indispensabile per la connettività interemisferica, pongono l’attenzione sul fatto che l’alto o il basso sincronismo potrebbe avere un ruolo importante nel determinare o meno la generalizzazione di una crisi.
Metal-enhanced e-type fluorescence

description: In this letter, we report metal-enhanced e-type fluorescence. Eosin in close proximity to silver island films (SiFs) shows enhanced e-type fluorescence with an approximately two-fold higher intensity observed from SiFs, as compared to a control sample. Our findings suggest two complementary mechanisms for the enhancement: surface plasmons can radiate e-type delayed fluorescence efficiently and enhanced absorption also facilitates enhanced emission from both S1 and T1 states. This observation is helpful in our understanding not only for studying the interactions between plasmons and fluorophores but also for our laboratories continued efforts to develop a unified plasmon-lumophore description.
Mergers of Stellar-Mass Black Holes in Nuclear Star Clusters

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008

description: Mergers between stellar-mass black holes will be key sources of gravitational radiation for ground-based detectors. However, the rates of these events are highly uncertain, given that such systems are invisible. One formation scenario involves mergers in field binaries, where our lack of complete understanding of common envelopes and the distribution of supernova kicks has led to rate estimates that range over a factor of several hundred. A different, and highly promising, channel involves multiple encounters of binaries in globular clusters or young star clusters. However, we currently lack solid evidence for black holes in almost all such clusters, and their low escape speeds raise the possibility that most are ejected because of supernova recoil. Here we propose that a robust environment for mergers could be the nuclear star clusters found in the centers of small galaxies. These clusters have millions of stars, black hole relaxation times well under a Hubble time, and escape speeds that are several times those of globulars, hence they retain most of their black holes. We present simulations of the three-body dynamics of black holes in this environment and estimate that, if most nuclear star clusters do not have supermassive black holes that interfere with the mergers, at least several tens of events per year will be detectable with Advanced LIGO.

description: Models of small-field inflation often suffer from the overshoot problem. A particularly efficient resolution to the problem was proposed recently in the context of string theory. We show that this resolution predicts the existence of giant spherically symmetric overdense regions with radius of at least 110 Mpc. We argue that if such structures will be found they could offer an experimental window into string theory.

description: We demonstrate for the first time a mid infrared silicon Raman amplifier. Amplification of 12 dB is reported for a signal at 3.39 micron wavelength. The active medium was a 2.5 cm long silicon sample that was pumped with 5ns pulses at 2.88 micron. The absence of the nonlinear losses which severely limit the performance of silicon Raman devices in the near infrared combined with unsurpassed crystal quality, high thermal conductivity render silicon a very attractive Raman medium. Such a technology can potentially extend silicon photonics application beyond data communication in the near infrared and into the mid infrared world of remote sensing, biochemical detection and laser medicine.

description: In this paper, we perform surface plasmon-coupled emission studies on Rhodamine 6G molecules embedded in a corrugated structure of a thin film composed of fluorinated silica particles, and a binding medium. Our results show enhancements of photoluminescence due to surface corrugation. By varying the size of the fluorinated silica nanoparticles we were able to control the surface correlation length scale of the corrugated surface structure. It was found that the coupling efficiency of the directional light emission is strongly correlated to the surface morphology, particularly the surface correlation length, of the corrugated dielectric structure. This substantial enhancement of signal could potentially be utilized in Organic Light Emitting Diode devices to enhance the light emission and transmission through a thin silver layer which can also serve as the cathode in Top-Emitting Organic Light Emitting Diodes.

description: We present studies of the photoexcited quasiparticle dynamics in Tl$_{2}$Ba$_{2}$Ca$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{y}$ (Tl-2223) using femtosecond optical techniques. Deep into the superconducting state (below 40 K), a dramatic change occurs in the temporal dynamics associated with photoexcited quasiparticles rejoining the condensate. This is suggestive of entry into a coexistence phase which, as our analysis reveals, opens a gap in the density of states (in addition to the superconducting gap), and furthermore, competes with superconductivity resulting in a depression of the superconducting gap.

description: Breakdowns may occur in high-voltage applications even in ultrahigh vacuum conditions. Previously, we showed that it is important to pay attention to the post-breakdown voltage recovery in order to limit the appearance of secondary breakdowns associated with the primary ones. This can improve the overall efficiency of the high-voltage device. In this study, we focus on the optimization of the linear post-breakdown voltage recovery, with the principle aim of alleviating the problem of the secondary breakdowns. We investigate voltage recovery scenarios with different starting voltages and slopes of linear voltage increase by using a pulsed dc system. We find that a higher number of pulses during the voltage recovery produces fewer secondary BDs and a lower overall breakdown rate. Lowering the number of pulses led to more dramatic voltage recovery resulting in higher breakdown rates. A steeper voltage increase rate lead to a more localized occurrence of the secondary breakdowns near the end of the voltage recovery period. It was also found that the peak BD probability is regularly observed around 1 s after the end of the ramping period and that its value decreases exponentially with the amount of energy put into the system during the ramping. The value also decays exponentially with a half-life of (1.4$\pm$0.3) ms if the voltage only increased between the voltage recovery steps.

The proposed algorithm is able to process \textit{both classical and quantum} signals. It is parametrically faster than previous classical and quantum denoising algorithms. Numerical results show that it is efficient at removing noise of both classical and quantum origin, significantly outperforming existing quantum algorithms in this respect, especially in the presence of quantum noise.

Single top production associated with a neutral scalar at LHC in topcolor-assisted technicolor

description: The topcolor-assisted technicolor (TC2) model predicts a number of neutral scalars like the top-pion ($π^0_t$) and the top-Higgs ($h^0_t$). These scalars have flavor-changing neutral-current (FCNC) top quark couplings, among which the top-charm transition couplings may be sizable. Such FCNC couplings induce single top productions associated with a neutral scalar at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) through the parton processes $cg \to t π_t^0$ and $cg \to t h_t^0$. In this note we examine these productions and find their production rates can exceed the $3σ$ sensitivity of the LHC in a large part of parameter space. Since in the Standard Model and the minimal supersymmetric model such rare productions have unobservably small production rates at the LHC, these rare processes will serve as a good probe for the TC2 model.

description: We report that self-assembled monolayers of colloidal silver nanoparticles can increase the intensity of the surface plasmon-coupled emission (SPCE) signal from sulforhodamine 101 (S101). The S101 was spin coated on a glass slide coated with a layer of continuous silver, and a silica layer upon which the nanoparticle layer was self-assembled. Of the various colloid sizes studied, the 40nm colloids showed both the highest enhancements in the SPCE signal and the largest extent of plasmon coupling, defined as the ratio of SPCE to Free Space signal. Our findings reveal a new technique that can be potentially employed to increase the sensitivity of SPCE applications.

description: We study the radio and optical properties of the brightest group galaxies (BGGs) in a sample of galaxy groups from the SDSS DR7. The luminosity difference between the BGG and the second ranked galaxy in the group (known as the luminosity, or magnitude, gap) has been used as a probe for the level of galaxy interaction for the BGG within the group. We study the properties of BGGs with magnitude gaps in the range 0-2.7 magnitudes, in order to investigate any relation between luminosity gap and the radio properties of the BGG. In order to eliminate selection biases, we ensure that all variations in stellar mass are accounted for. We then confirm that, at fixed stellar mass, there are no significant variations in the optical properties of the BGGs over the full range of luminosity gaps studied. We compare these optical results with the EAGLE hydrodynamical simulations and find broad consistency with the observational data. Using EAGLE we also confirm that no trends begin to arise in the simulated data at luminosity gaps beyond our observational limits. Finally, we find that, at fixed stellar mass, the fraction of BGGs that are radio-loud also shows no trends as a function of luminosity gap. We examine how the BGG offset from the center of group may affect the radio results and find no significant trend for the fraction of radio-loud BGGs with magnitude gap in either the BGG samples with greater or less than 100kpc offset from the center of group.

description: We propose a produre of reduction a locally conformal symplectic structure. This procedure of reduction can be applied to wide class of submanifolds. There are no local obstructions for this procedure. But there are global obstructions. We find a necessary and sufficient condition when this reduction holds in terms of the special kind of de Rham cohomology class (tangent to the characteristic foliation) of the Lee form.

description: We argue that the existence of a new narrow (Gamma < 25 MeV) nucleon resonance N*(1685) is strongly supported by recent data on eta photoproduction off the nucleon. The resonance has much stronger photo-coupling to the neutron than to the proton. This nucleon resonance is a good candidate for the non-strange member of the exotic anti-decouplet of baryons -- the partner of the pentaquark Theta+. All up to date known properties of new N*(1685) are summarized.

description: We report here the use of plasmonic metal nanostructures in the form of silver island films (SiFs) to enhance the fluorescence emission of five different phycobiliproteins. Our findings clearly show that the phycobiliproteins display up to a 9-fold increase in fluorescence emission intensity, with a maximum 7-fold decrease in lifetime when they are assembled as a monolayer above SiFs, as compared to a monolayer assembled on the surface of amine-terminated glass slides of the control sample. The study was also repeated with a thin liquid layer of the phycobiliproteins sandwiched between two glass substrates (and a SiFs and a glass substrate) clamped together. Similarly, the results show a maximum 10-fold increase in fluorescence emission intensity coupled with a 2-fold decrease in lifetime of the phycobiliproteins in the SiF?glass setup as compared to the glass control sample, implying that near-field enhancement of phycobiliprotein emission can be attained both with and without chemical linkage of the proteins to the SiFs. Hence, our results clearly show that metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF) can potentially be employed to increase the sensitivity and detection limit of the plethora of bioassays that employ phycobiliproteins as fluorescence labels, such as in fluoro-immunoassays where the assay can be tethered on the surface of SiFs, and also in flow cytometry where analytes in the liquid phase could potentially flow through channels coated with SiFs without actually being attached to the silver.
Emergence of the Born rule in strongly-driven dissipative systems

description: To understand the dynamical origin of the measurement in quantum mechanics, several models have been put forward which have a quantum system coupled to an apparatus. The system and the apparatus evolve in time and the Born rule for the system to be in various eigenstates of the observable is naturally obtained. In this work, we show that the effect of the drive-induced dissipation in such a system can lead to the Born rule, even if there is no separate apparatus. The applied drive needs to be much stronger than the system-environment coupling. In this condition, we show that the dynamics of a driven-dissipative system could be reduced to a Milburn-like form, using a recently-proposed fluctuation-regulated quantum master equation [A. Chakrabarti and R. Bhattacharyya, Phys. Rev. A 97, 063837 (2018)]. The system evolves irreversibly under the action of the first-order effect of the drive and the drive-induced dissipation. The resulting mixed state is identical to that obtained by using the Born rule.

description: The 2014 Farm Bill created Supplemental Coverage Option (SCO), a new add-on crop insurance option which provides supplemental coverage on a producer’s underlying crop insurance policy. SCO operates by mimicking a producer’s individual
crop insurance coverage and increasing the protection to 86 percent of the producer’s actual production history (APH) yield and price election. An SCO loss payment occurs when the actual current year county yield (or revenue) is less than 86% of expected county yield (or revenue) at the time of planting.  SCO became available with the 2015
crop year in select Maryland counties for winter wheat, and all corn and soybean counties except Allegany and Garrett. USDA’s Risk Management
Agency (RMA) will begin looking at expanding covered counties and crops covered, and begin distinguishing by practices (such as irrigated compared to non-irrigated).

description: Transverse Momentum Dependent (TMD) parton distributions obtained from the Parton Branching (PB) method are combined with next-to-leading-order (NLO) calculations of Drell-Yan (DY) production. We apply the MCatNLO method for the hard process calculation and matching with the PB TMDs. We compute predictions for the transverse momentum, rapidity and $\phi^*$ spectra of Z-bosons. We find that the theoretical uncertainties of the predictions are dominated by the renormalization and factorization scale dependence, while the impact of TMD uncertainties is moderate. The theoretical predictions agree well, within uncertainties, with measurements at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In particular, we study the region of lowest transverse momenta at the LHC, and comment on its sensitivity to nonperturbative TMD contributions.

description: Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide PdTe$_2$ recently attracts much attention due to its phase coexistence of type-II Dirac semimetal and type-I superconductivity. Here we report a 67 % enhancement of superconducting transition temperature in the 1T-PdSeTe in comparison to that of PdTe2 through partial substitution of Te atoms by Se. The superconductivity has been unambiguously confirmed by the magnetization, resistivity and specific heat measurements. 1T-PdSeTe shows type-II superconductivity with large anisotropy and non-bulk superconductivity nature with volume fraction ~ 20 % estimated from magnetic and heat capacity measurements. 1T-PdSeTe expands the family of superconducting transition metal dichalcogenides and thus provides additional insights for understanding superconductivity and topological physics in the 1T-PdTe$_2$ system

Quantum Interference Effects in Slowly Rotating NUT Space-time

description: General relativistic quantum interference effects in the slowly rotating NUT space-time as the Sagnac effect and the phase shift effect of interfering particle in neutron interferometer are considered. It was found that in the case of the Sagnac effect the influence of NUT parameter is becoming important due to the fact that the angular velocity of the locally non rotating observer must be larger than one in the Kerr space-time. In the case of neutron interferometry it is found that due to the presence of NUT-parameter an additional term in the phase shift of interfering particle emerges. This term can be, in principle, detected by sensitive interferometer and derived results can be further used in experiments to detect the gravitomagnetic charge. Finally, as an example, we apply the obtained results to the calculation of the UCN (ultra-cold neutrons) energy level modification in the slowly rotating NUT space-time.
