Note that, assuming that the comment that you made on your other question about the authors being Japanese also holds for this question, then one remark in the Google Answers link is relevant:
Ig-loss tends to only be used by "asian" sources, natives usually use "LOI" (loss on ignition), or "IL" (ignition loss).
