0 involving the loss of data or of electrical energy :
It suggests that both frequency upshift and downshift are possible when the pulse propagates in a lossy and space-time-varying plasma.
An architecture for lossy compression of waveforms using piecewise-linear approximation.
Other channels may be lossy because they implement other policies to drop some of the data items they consume.
A lossy channel may deliver only some of the data items that it receives, and lose t he rest.
Verifying lossy channel systems has nonprimitive recursive complexity.
As can be seen from the experimental results in the previous section, the autonomic properties of the routing protocol improve system routing performance, particularly in congested and lossy wireless networks.
Lossy methods, however, achieve a reduction in the amount of data to be stored by discarding information, so that the output is only an approximation of the input.
To determine precisely how rule-parsing should be used requires a decision as to what is to be preserved under compaction (c. f. the 'model' of a lossy compression method).
