A pinch (or: Bennett pinch [2] (after Willard Harrison Bennett), electromagnetic pinch, [3] magnetic pinch, [4] pinch effect, [5] or plasma pinch. [6]) is the compression of an electrically conducting filament by magnetic forces, or a device that does such. The conductor is usually a plasma, but could also be a solid or liquid metal.
A study of how a number of the most used textbooks in astrophysics treat important concepts such as double layers, critical velocity, pinch effects, and circuits is made. It is found that students using these textbooks remain essentially ignorant of even the existence of these concepts, despite the fact that some of them have been well known ...
Pinch (plasma physics), the compression of a plasma filament by magnetic forces, or a device which uses this effect for magnetic fusion energy Pinching is a multi-touch gesture, done by squeezing one's fingers on a touchscreen
In fusion power research, the Z-pinch (zeta pinch) is a type of plasma confinement system that uses an electric current in the plasma to generate a magnetic field that compresses it (see pinch). These systems were originally referred to simply as pinch or Bennett pinch (after Willard Harrison Bennett ), but the introduction of the θ-pinch ...
The tubular pinch effect is a phenomenon in fluid mechanics, which has importance in membrane technology.This effect describes a tendency for suspended particles flowing through a pipe to reach an equilibrium distribution with the region of highest concentration of particles lies between the central axis and the wall of the pipe.
This results in a pronunciation of those loanwords which does not reflect the rules of either language. [2] For example, the n in habanero is pronounced as in Spanish (close to [n] in English), but English speakers often pronounce it with / n j /, approximating as if it were spelled habañero. [3]

The following pronunciation respelling key is used in some Wikipedia articles to respell the pronunciations of English words. It does not use special symbols or diacritics apart from the schwa (ə), which is used for the first sound in the word "about".
