| island | 1. <geography> A tract of land surrounded by water, and smaller than a continent. Cf. Continent. 2. Anything regarded as resembling an island; as, an island of ice. Origin: OE. Iland, yland, AS. Igland, gland, glond; ig, g, island + land, lond, land. AS. Ig, g, is akin to AS. Ea water, river, OHG. Uwa, G. Au meadow, Icel. Ey island, Dan. & Sw. O, Goth.

| island of Reil | 1. An oval region of the cerebral cortex overlying the extreme capsule, lateral to the lenticular nucleus, buried in the depth of the fissura lateralis cerebri (sylvian fissure). Synonym: insular area, insular cortex, island of Reil. Synonym: island. 3. Any circumscribed body or patch on the skin. Origin: L. Island (05 Mar 2000) |

| magnetic island | <physics> A magnetic topology near a rational surface where the flux surface is broken up into tubes which are not connected with each other poloidally. Islands may develop in non-ideal magnetohydrodynamic fluids, where electrical resistance becomes important and magnetic field lines are no longer frozen-in to the fluid. Then magnetic tearing and reconnection may allow field lines to link up and form islands with a local magnetic axis in a narrow region near a rational surface. (See also magnetohydrodynamic, frozen-in law). The development of islands may be caused by a small perturbation, whether internal or external, whether deliberate or accidental, and is usually associated with enhanced transport (i.e., reduced confinement). The centres of the islands are magnetic O-points, while the boundaries between islands are marked by X-points. (09 Oct 1997) |
| pitcairn island | An island in polynesia, in the south pacific ocean. It was discovered in 1767 by philip carteret, uninhabited until 1790 when settled by mutineers from the english ship, bounty. The settlement was discovered in 1808; the population was removed temporarily to tahiti in 1831 and to norfolk island (between new caledonia and new zealand) in 1856. Some later returned to pitcairn and their descendents constitute the present population of this british colony. The island is named for the midshipman who first sighted it from the ship.

| CpG island | <molecular biology> Region of genomic DNA rich in the dinucleotide C G. Methylation of the C in the dinucleotide is maintained through cell divisions and profoundly affects the degree of transcription of the nearby genes and is important in developmental regulation of gene expression. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cpg-rich island | <molecular biology> Areas of DNA which consist mostly of the base pair sequence CGCGCGCG. (alternating cytosine and guanine nucleotide bases) that are usually found upstream of many genes and are thought to help regulate gene expression. They are often methylated (have methyl groups attached to the DNA segments). (28 May 1998) |
| prince edward island | An island in the gulf of st. Lawrence constituting a province of canada in the eastern part of the country. It is very irregular in shape with many deep inlets. Its capital is charlottetown.
