Loss

Loss may refer to:

  • Loss (baseball), a pitching statistic in baseball
  • Attenuation, a reduction in amplitude and intensity of a signal
  • In telecommunications, loss is a decrease in signal in a communications system:
    • Angular misalignment loss, power loss caused by the deviation from optimum angular alignment
    • Bridging loss, the loss that results when an impedance is connected across a transmission line
    • Coupling loss, the loss that occurs when energy is transferred from one circuit, optical device, or medium to another
    • Insertion loss, the decrease in transmitted signal power resulting from the insertion of a device in a transmission line or optical fiber
    • Path loss, the attenuation undergone by an electromagnetic wave in transit from a transmitter to a receiver
      • Free-space path loss, the loss in signal strength that would result if all influences were sufficiently removed having no effect on its propagation
    • Return loss, the ratio of the amplitude of the reflected wave to the amplitude of the incident wave
  • Loss (Mull Historical Society album)

    Loss is the debut album of Scottish indie pop band Mull Historical Society. It includes the singles "Barcode Bypass", "I Tried", "Animal Cannabus" and "Watching Xanadu". The album reached number 43 in the UK album chart. It was inspired by the sudden death of his father in 1999 and his upbringing on the Isle of Mull. It contains samples from a Caledonian MacBrayne ferry and the waves on Calgary Bay in Mull. "Barcode Bypass" is about a small shopkeeper threatened by the supermarkets, and "Watching Xanadu" is about watching the film Xanadu.

  • Win–loss record (pitching)

    In baseball and softball, a pitcher's win–loss record (also referred to simply as their record) indicates the number of wins (denoted "W") and losses (denoted "L") they have been credited with. For example, a 20–10 win–loss record would represent 20 wins and 10 losses.

    In each game, one pitcher on the winning team is awarded a win (the "winning pitcher") and one pitcher on the losing team is given a loss (the "losing pitcher") in their respective statistics. These pitchers are collectively known as the pitchers of record. The designation of win or loss for a pitcher is known as a decision, and only one pitcher for each team receives a decision. A starting pitcher who does not receive credit for a win or loss is said to have no decision. In certain situations, another pitcher on the winning team who pitched in relief of the winning pitcher can be credited with a save, and holds can be awarded to relief pitchers on both sides, but these are never awarded to the same pitcher who is awarded the win.

    Despond

    by: Loss

    Fatum vestri vita
    The end of everything
    The end of myself
    Razor find a way
    Slice the veins
    Bleed it all away
    Stomach slit wide
    Hung with a noose of my own intestines
    Passed
    Laid to rest with final wounds
    Nothing more to take
    Surrender
    Release
    Self surgery
    Explain to none
    The reasons
    Open veins to a curtain closed
    Left to be found
    Perfectly shamed
    Cornered in a cold room
    Fallen
    Cannot raise me
    Skin is scoured
    Raw but unclean
    Unfeeling
    Wet
    Red sleep
    Can and shall release
    Lowest point of being
    A wound erupting
    Masterpiece of my despair
    No decipherable expression heard
    As arms fall, the blood screaming
    Singing
    Of a world drawn in
    Mind's eye projecting
    Blinding light on curtains closed
    The audience unseen
    Unseeing
    Theatre of the defeated
    A numb performance culled from memory's imprint
    For a standing room unaware
    Ascend!
    Sinking, I will die for this (for you)
