| loss cone | In a magnetic mirror machine, particles with a large velocity parallel to the magneitc field and a small velocity perpendicular to the field will be able to escape past the magnetic mirror (see magnetic mirror). In that case the velocity distribution function (see distribution function) will be almost zero in the region of velocity space that allows particles to escape. The shape of that region (in a velocity space diagram with parallel velocity and perpendicular velocity as the axes) is a cone. When a particle undergoes a collision, its velocity gets somewhat randomised. Particles that are scattered into that cone are lost very quickly (in one mirror bounce time). Thus it is called a loss cone. Because of the loss cone, the theoretical maximum particle confinement time of a magnetic mirror machine can be only a few times the particle collision time, this is generally seen as a showstopper for mirror-based fusion research.

| drift cyclotron loss cone instabilities | (DCLC) This is an electrostatic microinstability (frequencies at harmonics of the ion cyclotron frequency) which is of major concern in small mirror devices. Mode is driven by radial gradients in the electron density, and causes loss of ions due to non-conservation of magnetic moment (see adiabatic invariant) as they interact with the mode, and are dispersed in velocity space into the loss cone. Stabilisation is accomplished by increasing the plasma size and by partially filling the loss cone with a continuous extermal warm plasma stream. (09 Oct 1997) |

| alveolar bone loss | The resorption of bone in the supporting structures of the maxilla or mandible as a result of periodontal disease. (12 Dec 1998) |
| axon loss polyneuropathy | A type of polyneuropathy in which axon degeneration is the sole/predominant feature; many aetiologies, particularly toxic and metabolic; on nerve conduction studies, affects amplitudes of the responses, but does not cause conduction slowing or block. Synonym: axonal polyneuropathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| blood loss, surgical | Loss of blood during surgery. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Parallel Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy | <technique> Electron energy loss spectroscopy analyses the inelastically scattered electrons present in the beam after it has been transmitted through the sample. An electron energy loss spectrum typically consists of a monatomic decreasing background on which are superimposed a number of peaks. Each peak is characteristic of the scattering process that has occurred in the sample. The peaks can be used to obtain information about the chemical composition and electronic structure of the sample. Electron energy loss spectra are acquired typically in a magnetic sector spectrometer located under the camera chamber of the transmission electron microscope. Spatial resolution is typically limited by the minimum probe diameter of the microscope. Electron energy loss spectroscopy tends to be complimentary to EDS in that it can be used to analyse very thin samples of low Z materials. Acronym: PEELS (05 Aug 1998) |
| periodontal attachment loss | Loss or destruction of periodontal tissue caused by periodontitis or other destructive periodontal diseases or by injury during instrumentation. Attachment refers to the periodontal ligament which attaches to the alveolar bone. It has been hypothesised that treatment of the underlying periodontal disease and the seeding of periodontal ligament cells enable the creating of new attachment. (12 Dec 1998) |
| water loss, insensible | Loss of water by diffusion through the skin and by evaporation from the respiratory tract. It is so called because we do not know that we are actually losing water at the time that it is leaving the body. (guyton, textbook of medical physiology, 8th ed, p274) (12 Dec 1998) |
| weight loss | Decrease in existing body weight. (12 Dec 1998) |
| conductive hearing loss | <otolaryngology> A form of deafness that results from a blockage of the ear canal or dysfunction of the ossicles or eardrum (sound collecting apparatus). In conductive hearing loss the auditory nerve is normal, but there exists a physical problem with the sound collecting apparatus. (05 Jan 1998) |
| hair loss | Hair loss may be associated with aging, hormones (androgens) or genetic predisposition. The pattern of baldness in women is different from that of men. In women there is thinning of the hair all over the scalp, but the frontal hairline is maintained. The hair loss is usually permanent. Treatment has been successful with topical minoxidil in some cases. (13 Nov 1997) |
| hearing loss, bilateral | Partial hearing loss in both ears. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hearing loss, central | Hearing loss due to central nervous system disease, anywhere in the auditory pathways from the cochlear nucleus of the pons to the auditory cortex. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hearing loss, conductive | Hearing loss due to interference with the acoustic transmission of sound to the cochlea. The interference is in the outer or middle ear. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hearing loss, functional | Hearing loss without a physical basis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hearing loss, high-frequency | Hearing loss in frequencies above 1000 hertz. (12 Dec 1998) |
