The focus of the Space Tissue Loss – B ( STL-B ) experiment was direct video observation of cells in culture through the use of a video microscope imaging system with the objective of demonstrating near real-time interactive operations to detect and induce cellular responses.

Figure 3 shows the reference algorithm for SCR and PCR control for both Cell Loss Priority ( CLP ) values 1 ( low ) and 0 ( high ) cell flows, i. e. where the cells with both priority values are treated the same.

Loss of heterozygosity can be identified in cancers by noting the presence of heterozygosity at a genetic locus in an organism's germline DNA, and the absence of heterozygosity at that locus in the cancer cells.

In the song " Power and Glory " from Lou Reed's 1992 album Magic and Loss, Reed recalls the experience of seeing his friend dying of cancer and makes reference to the myth, " I saw isotopes introduced into his lungs / trying to stop the cancerous spread / And it made me think of Leda and The Swan / and gold being made from lead "

He writes: “ The Ancients in All Towns were for having some intricate Ways and turn again Streets or loops, without any Passage through them, that if an Enemy comes into them, he may be at a Loss, and be in Confusion and Suspense ; or if he pushes on daringly, may be easily destroyed ”.
