Emetophobia in the general population (Christie, 2004). Some experts believe that emetophobia may be linked to worries about lack of control. Many people try to control themselves and their environment in every possible way, but vomiting is difficult or impossible to control. There are many factors that can cause a legitimate case of emetophobia. Emetophobics are indeed severely mentally ill. Dr. Angela L. Davidson "et al". conducted an experiment where it was concluded through various surveys that people suffering from emetophobia are more likely to have an internal locus of control pertaining to their everyday life as well as health-related matters.
Positive-real function general definition, and then particularize it to the rational case. Linear electrical networks with more than one port may be described by impedance or admittance matrices. So by extending the definition of PR to matrix-valued functions, linear multi-port networks which are passive may be distinguished from those that are not. A possibly irrational matrix-valued function "Z"("s") is PR if and only if Positive-real function Positive-real functions, often abbreviated to PR function, are a kind of mathematical function that first arose in electrical network analysis. They are complex functions, "Z"("s"), of a complex variable, "s". A rational function is defined to
