description: This study evaluates the adequacy of current design guidelines for roof drainage systems with box gutters, overflows and downpipes and provides recommendations for improvements. Roof drainage systems are a crucial component of the building envelope, which protects the structure and contents from water damage. However, compared to the scope of applications in the built environment, investigations into the operational performance of roof drainage systems and their sensitivity to extreme rainfall events are relatively limited. This presentation reports the findings of a full-scale empirical test of a complete box gutter roof drainage system and is likely to be one of very few such investigations undertaken. This study is situated within the fields of hydraulics, hydrology and building regulations.
La poesia di Rousseau

description: Nell’opera di Rousseau, la poesia riceve valutazioni molto diverse, se non antitetiche. Da un lato, infatti, la poesia viene criticata per il suo ruolo nella corruzione della società; dall’altro, risulta oggetto di un amore profondo. Quest’ultimo comporta il riconoscimento di un'importante funzione morale al genere poetico non solo sul piano normativo ma anche su quello pratico-effettivo della riflessione morale rousseauiana.

description: Achieving universal access to electricity by 2030 is a key part of the Agenda for Sustainable Development, and has its own Sustainable Development Goal, SDG 7.1. This is because electricity services are required for almost all aspects of a modern economy, from the cooling of vaccines to irrigation pumping, to manufacturing and running a business. The achievement of SDG 7.1 will require a thoughtful mix of policy, finance, and technology to be designed and implemented at scale. Yet, the pressing need for an electrification ramp-up is not unprecedented. Many countries (now considered “industrialized”) faced similar challenges about a century ago. Although the existing literature covers a great deal of power systems evolution, there is a gap around the specific role and impact of small, isolated power systems in the early stages of electricity uptake. In this paper, we provide insights based on the review of the historical electrification efforts in four (now middle and high-income) countries. The drivers and context of electrification efforts in early stages are described. Those focus particularly on the role of dispersed, small-scale generation systems (mini-grids). Our analysis shows that electrification follows four loosely defined phases, namely: pilot projects, technological roll-out, economic expansion, and social scale-up. We report a selection of historical mistakes and advances that offer lessons of striking importance for today´s energy access efforts, particularly in regards to the development of mini-grids. We find that today, as historically, multi-stakeholder (e.g., planners, regulators, developers, investors, third party actors) collaboration is key and can help build locally adaptable, economically sustainable and community compatible mini-grids that can accelerate—and lower the societal costs of—universal access to electricity.

Physical model

description: Sea water intake structures submerged in the surf zone are used to provide water for cooling processes in large facilities such as power plants and refineries. Structures submerged in the surf zone are subject to large forces from breaking waves. To study these forces induced from realistic sea state conditions, a physical model of an intake structure submerged in the wave breaking zone was constructed and subjected to a wide spectrum of regular and irregular waves. The model structure was designed in a manner so force measurement could be isolated to separate components of the structure. The data of peak forces on the structure was analyzed for correlations with varying irregular wave properties. Using the results of forcing on the structure from regular wave tests, drag and inertia coefficients for use in the Morison equation were determined for each separate component and configuration of the structure. These force coefficients were plotted against various wave properties to analyze correlations with wave conditions. Finally, the force coefficients for the structure were used with the Morison equation and current data from the experiments to successfully model forcing on the structure during irregular wave tests.
Local knowledge, communities and disaster management – a case study from southeast Queensland
Creators: name: Page, Madeleine

Year: 2021
Subjects: Local knowledge

sense of place

description: The aim of this research is to understand how a rural community accesses and uses local knowledge to manage and progress through a disaster event. It considers how a community’s interpretation, understanding and experience of flood events in the environment in which they live contribute to the management of disasters. To obtain this information, qualitative research methods were used, comprising participant observation, semi-structured and unstructured interviews, and analysis of historical records, using a case study of Mundubbera in southeast Queensland. Mundubbera experienced a major flood event in December 2010 and again in January 2013, the first major floods in the area since 1942.
description: In Mundubbera, the knowledge derived and kept alive by people living in the community, together with their connection to place, proved pivotal in designing and directing the management of the flood events considered in this research. It was experiential knowledge, created over time, that provided the community with the ability to respond to the flood events which left them isolated from surrounding towns and receiving little external support. The scientific mapping available during the 2013 flood event was limited to the immediate township and was constrained by the assumptions used in the modelling. The local knowledge used by the community was different to the mapping and projections derived from this scientific knowledge and was at the core of the disaster management response. Local knowledge is unique to each community and changes over time, yet it contributes to local place-identities. Residents rely on their existing networks and experiences to provide resources and support each other when they are isolated from surrounding townships.

description: Hyperkalemic periodic paralysis (HEPP) is an inherited, autosomal disorder characterized by myotonia and periodic paralysis in skeletal muscle. The hallmark of the disease is a severe sensitivity to the K+-induced force depression, the cause of the paralysis. Previous studies have provided evidence that the sensitivity to the K+-induced force depression can be alleviated when the Cl- conductance (GCl) is lowered. However, those studies were carried out at non-physiological temperatures (25°-30°C) and few stimulation frequencies. The overarching goal of this study was to examine whether manipulating GCl pharmacologically was a viable target for treating HEPP. This work sought to document the interactive effect of K+ and Cl- on force development in mouse skeletal muscle at 37°C, over a wide range of stimulation frequencies. Secondly, experiments were undertaken to determine if a reduction in GCl could protect against the severe K+ sensitivity in HEPP. The results show that in wildtype muscle, a reduction in GCl improved force generation at high [K+]e at stimulation frequencies that naturally occur in vivo for mouse EDL and soleus. While the effect in wildtype muscles was proof of principle that a reduction in GCl may be a potential approach to treat HEPP patients, the effects of reduced GCl at high [K+]e was quite variable in HEPP muscles. In a few cases, lowering GCl did improve force generation at high [K+]e. However, in most cases the decrease in GCl exacerbated the force depression at high [K+]e, suggesting that more studies will be necessary to understand the variability in the Cl- effect to conclude whether a decrease in GCl is a viable approach to treat HEPP patients.
A Cross-National, Comparative Study of Cultural Factors Underpinning 15-Year Old Students' Performance in Reading Literacy in Finland, Sweden and Indonesia

description: This thesis investigates educational culture in Finland, Sweden and Indonesia. It compares and contrasts similarities and differences to investigate the degree to which cultural context influences performance in reading literacy. In addition, the research explores whether global educational solutions are inevitable, desirable or even possible. The study is based on the results of the OECD's Program for International Student Assessment (PISA). The thesis refutes the notion of a globally valid education concept and argues that evaluations of effective education cultures cannot be made using discrete, quantitative measures. Students' performance in reading literacy is culturally influenced and should be understood in a cultural context. The thesis argues that effective education systems must be embedded in an education culture that aligns values throughout the system levels.
Establishing the trust-control balance in client-vendor outsourcing relationships: empirical evidence from two IS outsourcing projects

description: Nowadays, intense global competition requires companies to reposition themselves in value networks and build more sustainable and long-term relationships with their outsourcing partners. Trust and formal controls are critical issues in contemporary outsourcing arrangements today. This paper contributes to the understanding of the trust-control nexus in dynamic outsourcing relationships and argues that the achieved level of balance leads to a different course of the development of an outsourcing arrangement. These issues are explored in two case studies, where the knowledge on trust and controls is constructed in the form of organisational narratives. The analysis of the cases reveals how the client and vendor's actions oscillate between different balancing levels of trust and controls in the relationship dynamics and how this leads to contrasting outsourcing outcomes.

description: Innovation intermediaries provide a range of services to assist firms during the process of innovation. How SMEs perceive innovation intermediaries is an area of investigation that would provide important information on how innovation intermediaries’ assist small and medium enterprises (SMEs). This study focuses on the cleantech industry and explores SMEs’ expectations and perceptions of an established community-based intermediary (CBI) moving into their sector. A qualitative research methodology was adopted to collect data from 15 sample SMEs. In regards to SMEs, the findings show that cleantech companies face financing, partnerships, marketing, sales, regulatory and bureaucratic challenges. In regards to innovation intermediaries, the findings showcase how CBI, a regional intermediary, is not effective in supporting cleantech SMEs with their sector specific needs or challenges.
Electrochemistry of lead and lead alloy anodes in lead-acid batteries for photovoltaic energy storage.
Creators: name: Mohammadi, Abdulreza Tabe.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1991
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Chemical.

description: The performance of lead-acid batteries for energy storage in photovoltaic/diesel/battery hybrid systems strongly depends on several electrochemical and/or operational factors such as the alloying elements incorporated in the electrode plates, the addition of expander materials to the anode or to the electrolyte, temperature, and the charging regime of the battery. In this study, the influences of the above mentioned factors on battery performance were investigated using cyclic voltammetry and potentiostatic transient techniques supplemented by surface analysis techniques including scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The behaviour of binary lead-calcium and lead-antimony, and ternary lead-calcium-tin and lead-antimony-selenium alloy anodes were compared to that of the pure lead anode. In addition, the effect of ammonium ligno-sulphonate (ALS), as an expander added to the electrolyte, on the anode behaviour, was studied at room (23$\sp\circ$C) and cold (0$\sp\circ$C) temperatures.
Biodegradation of the organophosphorus insecticide fenitrothion by the alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii: The role of cytochrome P450 monooxygenase.
Creators: name: Ladouceur, Mary Francis.

Subjects: subject: Biology, Cell.

description: Cultures of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (1 $\times$ 10$\sp6$ cells/mL) were incubated with 5.0 $\mu$g/mL of the insecticide fenitrothion, (FEN), (O,O-dimethyl-O-(3-methyl-4-nitrophenyl)phosphorothioate). The rate of abiotic fenitrothion degradation in Gorman and Levign growth medium (pH = 6.8, T = 21 $\sp\circ$C, Vita Lite$\sp\circler$ 40 w/m$\sp2$), was enhanced 9-fold in the light relative to the dark under abiotic conditions (T$\sb{1/2}$ values of 145 h (light) and 54 days (dark)). Endogenous metabolism by C. reinhardtii produced significant amounts of 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol (nitrocresol), demethyl fenitrothion, formyl fenitrothion, hydroxymethyl fenitrothion, and carboxyfenitrothion within the cells. This biodegradation was slower in the dark than in the light. Studies of algal biodegradation of fenitrothion in the presence of 5.0 $\mu$g/mL fenitrothion plus 23.2 $\mu$g/mL phenobarbital, (a cytochrome P$\sb{450}$ monooxygenase inducer), demonstrated a 10 fold increase in the levels of intracellular hydroxymethyl fenitrothion relative to control algal cultures. It was concluded from this study that degradation of fenitrothion by metabolic activity of cytochrome P$\sb{450}$ monooxygenase may be a significant determinant in fenitrothion degradation in C. reinhardtii cultures. The amounts of formyl fenitrothion, carboxy fenitrothion and, carboxyfenitrooxon were demonstrated to depend on the availability of intracellular hydroxymethyl fenitrothion pool produced by algal PSMO activity, while NC and DSM levels were attributable to other cellular enzymes.

description: Zn-doped, p-type, GaAs and $\rm Ga\sb{0.85}In\sb{0.15}As$ samples grown by low-pressure metal organic vapour phase epitaxy with free carrier concentrations in the range of n = 4.3 $\times$ 10$\sp {\rm cm}\sp{-3}$ (nominally undoped)--p = 1.95 x 10$\sp{20} {\rm cm}\sp{-3}$ at room temperature have been studied by temperature-dependent photoluminescence. At low doping levels, recombinations involving discrete impurity states and free excitons provided measurement of both the 5 K band gap ($E\sb{g}(5)=(1.296\pm0.003)$ eV) and the zinc acceptor binding energy $(E(Zn\sp0)=(0.025\pm0.003)$ eV) in the $\rm Ga\sb{0.85}In\sb{0.15}As$ alloy. At high concentrations, the discrete acceptor levels are replace by an impurity band which merges with the valence band above the Mott$\sp{\lbrack 1\rbrack}$ transition. This gives rise to a density of states band tail extending into the gap and containing both extended and localised states. In the presence of such a high density of impurities, potential fluctuations and interparticle interactions result in a band gap shrinkage $\vert \Delta E\sb{g}\vert$ which has been observed with photoluminescence experiments. A model based on the presence of Kane$\sp{\lbrack 2\rbrack}$ band tails and on the assumption of a constant matrix element for the relevant optical transitions has been fitted to the photoluminescence spectra of heavily doped layers of GaAs and $\rm Ga\sb{0.85}In\sb{0.15}As$ in the range of $p=1.6\times 10\sp $ cm$\sp{-3}-p=1.95\times 10\sp{20}$ cm$\sp{-3}.$ This model provided a good description of the experimental results. The 5 K band gap shrinkage has been found to be $\vert\Delta E\sb{g}\vert=2.7\times 10\sp{-8}p\sp{1/3}$ for GaAs and $\vert\Delta E\sb{g}\vert=1.4\times 10\sp{-8}p\sp{1/3}$ for $\rm Ga\sb{0.85}In\sb{0.15}As$ with $\vert\Delta E\sb{g}\vert$ in Ev and p in cm$\sp{-3}.$
New Bachelards?: Reveries, Elements and Twenty-First Century Materialisms
Creators: name: Smith, James L.
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2012

description: Recent years have seen an infusion of new ideas into material philosophy through the work of the so-called ‘new materialists’. Poignant examples appear within two recent books: the first, Vibrant Matter by Jane Bennett (2010), sets out to “enhance receptivity to the impersonal life that surrounds and infuses us” (2010: 4). The second, Elemental Philosophy by David Macauley (2010), advocates an anamnesis or recollection of the elements as imaginatively dynamic matter. Within his essays on the imagination of matter, Gaston Bachelard outlined an archetypal vision of the elements predicated upon the material imagination. He explored the manner in which the imagination inhabits the world, is triggered by the stimulus of material dynamism, and is formed from a co-constitution of subject and object. This article proposes that recent trends in materialist philosophy – as exemplified by the monographs of Bennett and Macauley – reinforce the ideas of Bachelard and take them in new directions. Bachelard provides us with a compelling argument for the rediscovery of material imagination, whereas New Materialism portrays a vision of matter filled with autonomous dynamism that lends itself to entering into a relationship with this imagination. Consequently, this article proposes that Gaston Bachelard has gained a new relevance as a result of contemporary trends in material philosophy, has taken on new possibilities through recent scholarship, and remains a force within the twenty-first century discursive landscape.

description: Greenhouse gas emissions from transport are mainly determined by long-distance traffic between conurbations in passenger transport and traffic hubs in freight transport. In the course of the project "Options for action for an ecological design of long-distance mobility in passenger and freight transport", strategies and solutions were identified that effectively reduce the greenhouse gas emissions caused by long-distance transport. Concerning passenger transport, the project describes the long-distance mobility of people in Germany on the basis of an extensive literature and data analysis and supported by a model approach and a complementary survey. Based on the results, a broad spectrum of possible options for action for the future ecological design of long-distance mobility in passenger transport is developed. With regards to freight transport, the project explains the relationships between the individual modes of freight transport in detail to be able to assess how and to what extent the competition can be intervened. Based on a systematic literature research and synthesis, it is shown which different transport mode affinities by the type of goods and cargo as well as delivery distances exist and how these are related to the mode-specific differences in transport costs.

description: Novel Abstract: Imagine discovering in your mid-thirties that you really didn't know your father. Why he migrated from Palestine to Australia, why he said the things he did, and what tormented him when he was alone. Ishmael's Oud is a father-son journey from Australia to Occupied Palestine. It is a story of contradiction and love, betrayal and trauma. Exegetical Abstract: The exegesis which accompanies Ishmael's Oud details the methodologies used to construct the novel. Practice-led and ethnographic research are drawn upon to highlight and lay bare the creative process. The organisation of Ishmael's Oud and its hybrid form is considered; namely the multiple points of view used and the integration of poetry with prose. The combination of writing memoir and biography is a notable feature of Ishmael's Oud.
Bachelard et la psychanalyse de la “matière noire”
Creators: name: Bontems, Vincent
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2012

description: On several occasions, Gaston Bachelard has suggested that his poetic of elements could be extended beyond the four chemical elements, notably by increasing the specificity of the material imagination related to darkness, to the nocturne element, to the material called “la ténèbre” (the darkness). According to this thinking, we propose a dual examination of some physical concepts which include the adjective "black(/dark)": the black bodies, the black holes, and the dark matters. To understand the nature of these dark thoughts, it is necessary to explain the process by which the physical transforms the meaning of the adjective, but also five free rein to a poetic digression that reveals how the dark "colours" concepts by associating them with other images. The riddle of the black body radiation is no longer simply the opportunity to explore the quantum but also the pattern of a self-awareness rêverie; the black hole is not only a singularity of the theory of general relativity but also a symbol of great depression; the dark matter is no longer just an astrophysics hypothesis but also the object of a fantasized alchemical research. Combining psychoanalysis and epistemology of knowledge about the physical "black" we hope to show how the duality of Bachelard’s philosophy responds to the provocations of material to think and dream.

description: The aim of this thesis was to increase understanding of how subclinical, self-reported measures of mental health may relate to neurodevelopment in early adolescence cross-sectionally and longitudinally (at short intervals). Grey matter in subcortical brain regions develop rapidly during adolescence, and these regions have been linked to wellbeing and mental health disorders in young people. Mental ill-health is more likely to emerge and develop during adolescence, and the combination of biological, social, emotional and cognitive development interact to mediate key periods of risk and opportunity. It has been suggested that biological markers of mental health are different to those that relate to mental illness, however, there is a paucity of research on the associations between wellbeing and brain structure in early adolescence. Therefore, this thesis examined biological measures of grey matter volume and their relationships with self-reported measures of wellbeing and psychological distress, in early adolescence.

description: The workplace has been identified as providing a rich and rewarding source of learning for students. The provision of feedback is viewed as an integral part of assessing workplace learning or work integrated learning (WIL). However, the educational value of providing feedback to students by workplace supervisors on the full range of skills and competencies used in the professional setting has not been extensively studied. The practice of providing feedback to students from workplace supervisors clearly prevails both in Australia and more broadly in the international context, but documentation and research does not match the practice. Limited literature has been found on the process of providing feedback assessment by workplace supervisors, either formative or summative to students undertaking work-based learning. This study investigates best-practice models of industry feedback practices for WIL activities. These practices include the early involvement of students in defining goals/objectives and expectations with their supervisor; and clearly stated criteria for evaluating performance against the stated goals. The study builds on this prior literature to report desirable methods of workplace supervisor feedback that recognises 'learning by doing' through academic value attribution to data collected in the workplace. In particular, the study incorporates input from experienced industry supervisors in terms of defining their roles with students and academic mentors and delineating the criteria for student performance. A qualitative analysis of interviews with 15 industry supervisors of WIL students contributes to the body of knowledge on preferred modes for evaluating and reporting student performance. Sample feedback tools and guidelines which serve as models for industry supervisors are reported in the study. These feedback tools and guidelines fall within the broader context of holistic assessment processes for work integrated learning and provide educators with direction for effective engagement and feedback from industry supervisors.

description: Groat oil content and composition are important quality traits in oats (Avena sativa L). These traits are controlled by many genes with additive effects. The chromosomal regions containing these genes, known as quantitative trait loci (QTL), can be discovered through their close association with markers. This study investigated total oil content and fatty acid components in an oat breeding population derived from a cross between high oil ('Dal') and low oil ('Exeter') parents. A genetic map consisting of 475 DArT (Diversity Array Technology) markers spanning 1271.8 cM across 40 linkage groups was constructed. QTL analysis for groat oil content and composition was conducted using grain samples grown at Aberdeen, ID in 1997. QTL analysis for multiple agronomic traits was also conducted using data collected from hill plots and field plots in Ottawa, ON in 2010. QTLs for oil content, palmitic acid (16:0), stearic acid (18:0), oleic acid (18:1), linoleic acid (18:2) and linolenic acid (18:3) were identified. Two of the QTLs associated with oil content were also associated with all of the fatty acids examined in this study, and most oil-related QTL showed similar patterns of effect on the fatty acid profile. These results suggest the presence of pleiotropic effects on oil-related traits through influences at specific nodes of the oil synthesis pathway. In addition, 12 QTL-associated markers (likely representing nine unique regions) were associated with plant height, heading date, lodging, and protein content. The results of this study will provide information for molecular breeding as well as insight into the genetic mechanisms controlling oil biosynthesis in oat.
Japanese Women on the Move: International Marriage, Migration and Transnationalism

description: This thesis investigates the nature of international marriage by focusing on the experience of Japanese women who marry Australian men. It examines the historical background and cultural circumstances of kokusai kekkon (international marriage) in Japan; western theories of marriage and gender and how international marriage is dealt with in literature about globalisation, migration, settlement, and transnationalism. The thesis adopts a feminist methodological perspective and the analysis is informed by theories of inequality, predominantly based in gender, but also those related to socio-economic status and 'race'. The thesis argues that for Japanese women, globalisation has offered opportunities for personal and professional enhancement beyond those possible within the historical and cultural limits of Japanese society. However, these opportunities are also mediated by akogare (yearning), global hypergamy, status and position achieved through international marriage, and the gendered and racial exclusions that are an effect of migration and settlement in Australia. Finally, the discussion of transnationalism shows that Japanese women in international marriages are engaged in new forms of transnational exchange that have not been previously recognised in the globalisation literature, and which involve subjective and intergenerational elements of transnationalism as well as unevenness and irregularities over time.

Preschoolers' Understanding of Future Preferences and Its Relation to Theory of Mind and Executive Function Abilities

description: The aim of this dissertation was to explore whether preschoolers understand that preferences differ over time and between people. The first goal was to determine if 3-, 4-, and 5-year-olds could appreciate that their future or “grown-up” preferences may differ from their current ones (self-future condition). This understanding was compared to children’s understanding of the preferences of a grown-up (adult-now condition), or the grown-up preferences of a same-aged peer (peer-future condition). Results from 3 experiments (N = 240) suggest that these types of reasoning develop substantially over the preschool years, and that children are generally proficient by 5 years of age. Results also indicate that thinking about one’s own future preferences is more difficult than thinking about the (future) preferences of others. The second goal of this dissertation was to explore the relations between reasoning about preferences and theory of mind (ToM) and executive function (EF) abilities. Correlational analyses revealed that children’s reasoning about their future preferences and those of others was associated with EF skills, but not with ToM. These findings provide a timely contribution to the expanding research on children’s future-oriented cognition. Implications for theories about perspective-taking abilities, more broadly, and future research are also discussed.

La Psychanalyse matérielle chez Bachelard
Creators: name: Arruda, Francimar
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2012

description: The objective of this work is to develop a reflection on the meaning of psychoanalysis material proposed by Bachelard in poetic side of his work. We will seek to show, throughout development, that the meaning of the term psychoanalysis is totally different in two aspects: epistemological and poetic.
 This is because in epistemology, Bachelard exalts psychoanalysis as a method, while in poetry, criticizes the intensive Freudian psychoanalysis, showing that, due to its therapeutic purpose, fails to grasp the picture and dream of themselves, but rather rationalizes the . The text will become evident that only psychoanalysis material that leads to an area on the intimacy of the matter may result in the production of images and dreams whose dynamism leads to better understanding of the human spirit.

young driver

description: There is considerable evidence highlighting that young drivers (16-24 years old) are at an increased risk of road crashes due to various factors including their age, sex (being male), driving inexperience (e.g., poor situation awareness), and risk-taking behaviours that are either intentional (e.g., travelling in excess of posted speed limits) or unintentional (e.g., driving at the posted speed limits during heavy rain). In addition to the risks identified for young drivers in general, it is likely that ASD-drivers (ASD) can experience supplementary road safety challenges that arise due to ASD-associated symptoms and/or comorbidities. However, there is limited research examining the driving experiences of young drivers with ASD (ASD-drivers), and currently, while programs such as graduated driver licencing programs (GDL) are effective in reducing risks for young drivers generally, there are no driver-training programs specific to ASD-drivers. Therefore, the aim of this thesis was to explore the skills of ASD-drivers, to compare these skills to skills of young drivers without ASD (neurotypical, NT-drivers) and to develop an alternative driver-training program adaptable to the drivers and learning needs of ASD-drivers.
Immaginario: spazio e tempo della cura. Dal Rêve-Eveillé all’ Esperienza Immaginativa

description: Object of interest and philosophical speculation, sometimes examined as in contrast to the perception and knowledge, Imaginary has generated, in the history of thought, conflicting theories that have defined it, alternately, positive enhancer of knowledge or element disturbing element of pure and  rational knowledge, a real obstacle to the learning process. Years of psychotherapy that, since the Rêve-Eveillè of Desoille (1930) led us to the current definition of Imaginative Experience, have confirmed, as stated Desoille, that the psychotherapy with the imaginative experience is a privileged way to approach the unconscious. Privileged way, in which the contributions of neuroscience, through the studies of neural substrate (Passerini, 2009) and a new explanation of neuro- psycho - biological imaginative phenomenon, have allowed us to identify a new way of working. Psychotherapy with Imaginative Experience, psychodynamic model based on the privileged use of the imaginative production, exploits Imaginary as the main place of the treatment. It is situated within a theoretical framework referable to the depth psychology, since it interacts and mobilizes psychic energies that when are conflictual, traumatic or deficient, can lead to suffering. Beyond the resolution of the symptoms, the methodology with Imaginative Experience, through a specifically structured psychodynamic setting, allows to recover the subjectivity of the individual who, at the beginning of the treatment, is suffering from the disease and is calling for help. It also allows to bring to mind, through movement in the imaginative place, "all the scattered elements of the psyche in order to make a synthesis" (Desoille). The stimulating imagination, born of the therapeutic relationship between two individual who interact since they need love, to be loved and recognized for their values ​​and meanings, leads to conflictual and unconscious areas. That can trigger real transformative movement that is the result of the creative function of Imaginary, and that has already been recognized in the mid-twentieth century by Gaston Bachelard who declared: "Imagine is a fundamental mental activity" (1975).
