Emetophobia Frank M. Datillio's clinical case study, a situation where anorexia results from emetophobia is mentioned. Datillio says, "...in one particular case report, atypical anorexia in several adolescent females occurred as a result of a fear of vomiting that followed a viral illness as opposed to the specific desire to lose weight or because of an anxiety reaction." In cases such as this, many emetophobes may also have avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), which is characterized by a general disinterest in food, sensory issues with food (taste, texture, look, smell) or a fear of adverse consequences from eating (vomiting or choking).
Irrational rotation Irrational rotation In the mathematical theory of dynamical systems, an irrational rotation is a map where "θ" is an irrational number. Under the identification of a circle with R/Z, or with the interval [0, 1] with the boundary points glued together, this map becomes a rotation of a circle by a proportion "θ" of a full revolution (i.e., an angle of 2"πθ" radians). Since "θ" is irrational, the rotation has infinite order in the circle group and the map "T" has no periodic orbits. Alternatively, we can use multiplicative notation for an irrational rotation by introducing the map The relationship
