Emetophobia vomiting, thus inducing a phobia." In an internet survey conducted by Dr. Joshua D. Lipsitz "et al." given to emetophobic people, respondents gave many different reasons as to why they became emetophobic. Among some of the causes listed were several severe bouts of vomiting as children and being firsthand witnesses to many severe vomiting in others due to illness, pregnancy or alcoholism. There are two assessment tools used to diagnose emetophobia: the Specific Phobia of Vomiting inventory and the Emetophobia Questionnaire. They are self-report questionnaires that focus on a different range of symptoms. There have been a limited number of
Complexity function applicable, which may be taken to be uniformly recurrent or even uniquely ergodic. For "x" a real number and "b" an integer ≥ 2 then the complexity function of "x" in base "b" is the complexity function "p"("x","b","n") of the sequence of digits of "x" written in base "b". If "x" is an irrational number then "p"("x","b","n") ≥ "n"+1; if "x" is rational then "p"("x","b","n") ≤ "C" for some constant "C" depending on "x" and "b". It is conjectured that for algebraic irrational "x" the complexity is "b" (which would follow if all such numbers were normal) but all that
