| rare earth elements | Those elements with atomic numbers 57-71 which closely resemble one another chemically and were once difficult to separate from one another. Synonym: rare earth elements. Origin: Lanthanum, first element of the series (05 Mar 2000) |

| rare-earth screen | An intensifying screen made of a rare-earth oxide phosphor, more efficient than calcium tungstate, especially at the higher kilovoltages used in modern radiography. (05 Mar 2000) |
| metals, rare earth | Elements of group IIIb of the periodic table from lanthanum, atomic number 57, to and including lutetium, atomic number 71. (12 Dec 1998) |
| alkaline earth elements | Those element's in the family Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, and Ra, the hydroxides of which are highly ionised and hence alkaline in water solution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rare | 1. Not frequent; seldom met with or occurring; unusual; as, a rare event. 2. Of an uncommon nature; unusually excellent; valuable to a degree seldom found. "Rare work, all filled with terror and delight." (Cowley) "Above the rest I judge one beauty rare." (Dryden) 3. Thinly scattered; dispersed. "Those rare and solitary, three in flocks." (Milton) 4. Characterised by wide separation of parts; of loose texture; not thick or dense; thin; as, a rare atmosphere at high elevations. "Water is nineteen times lighter, and by consequence nineteen times rarer, than gold." (Sir I. Newton) Synonym: Scarce, infrequent, unusual, uncommon, singular, extraordinary, incomparable. Rare, Scarce. We call a thing rare when but few examples, specimens, or instances of it are ever to be met with; as, a rare plant. We speak of a thing as scarce, which, though usually abundant, is for the time being to be had only in diminished quantities; as, a bad harvest makes corn scarce. "A perfect union of wit and judgment is one of the rarest things in the world." (Burke) "When any particular piece of money grew very scarce, it was often recoined by a succeeding emperor." (Addison) Origin: F, fr. L. Rarus thin, rare. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| rare earths | See: lanthanides. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rare species | A species of animal or plant that is considered rare, threatened, or endangered. (17 Dec 1997) |
| actinide elements | Those elements with atomic numbers 89 to 103, corresponding to the lanthanides in the Periodic Table. Synonym: actinide elements. Origin: actinium, first element of the series (05 Mar 2000) |
| alu elements | <molecular biology> A set of closely related genetic sequences, each about 300 base pairs long, in the human genome. There are 500,000 to 600,000 copies widely dispersed among all 46 chromosomes: They act as markers for human DNA sequences, although their function in the genome is unknown. The DNA fragments containing the Alu elements are formed by digesting genomic DNA with the restriction endonuclease Alu I. (14 Nov 1997) |
| P elements | A class of transposable elements in Drosophila responsible for hybrid dysgenesis; utilised as tools for introducing genes into new locations in the genome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| copia elements | A mobile genetic element with retrovirus-like sequence organization. (05 Mar 2000) |
| short interspersed elements | Repetitive sequences of DNA of about 300 base pairs in length that occur about every 3000-5000 bp in the genome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| DNA insertion elements | Discrete transposable segments of DNA which can insert into chromosomal, phage, and plasmid DNA. Some insert at random while others are site-specific; most have not been found to exist except in the inserted state. Their insertion into a genome always produces a mutation ("insertion mutation"), and their excision frequently results in a loss of host genetic information. Types of transposable elements include is elements (insertion sequence elements), which are composed of between 700 and 1400 bases and contain no genes unrelated to insertion function and tn elements (transposon elements), which are generally larger than 1400 bases and contain genes unrelated to insertion function. The concept also includes the delta element of saccharomyces cerevisiae and the integration site. (12 Dec 1998) |
| elements | Simple substances which cannot be decomposed by chemical means. They are made up of atoms which are alike in their peripheral electronic configurations, their chemical properties, and in the number of protons in their nuclei. They may differ in the number of neutrons in their nuclei. (12 Dec 1998) |
| elements, radioactive | Chemical elements which spontaneously transmute into another element with corpuscular or electromagnetic radiation. The natural radioactive elements are all those with an atomic number above 83, and some other elements, such as potassium (atomic number 19) and rubidium (atomic number 7), which are very weakly radioactive.
