The chapter offers accounts by seven different teams trained and working in AMBIT-influenced ways, illustrating a variety of settings, the ways in which AMBIT has helped to improve their practice, and the challenges they faced. The chapter starts with an analogy comparing AMBIT with the operating system of a computer, which may run multiple different types of programs to address specific issues. The seven teams are: (i) an intensive CAMHS adolescent outreach service in London, designed to reduce inpatient admissions, (ii) a Tier 4 specialist adolescent inpatient unit in East Anglia, managing high risk/highly challenging behaviors, (iii) a voluntary sector outreach team working in London with highly excluded and gang-related young people, (iv) a therapeutic residential community for children with severe disturbance in the USA, (v) an intensive CAMHS community treatment service in Scotland, (vi) a service for young people on the edge of care in London, and (vii) a young people’s substance use service in a mixed urban/rural setting in the UK.

Flow Plane

In nature and engineering applications, wall-bounded flow often encounter a heterogeneous surface condition, such as the atmosphere boundary layer at the urban boundary and flow over riveted aircraft surfaces. In a particular scenario, when the surface heterogeneity is predominantly in the spanwise direction of the flow, this roughness heterogeneity can generate secondary flow in cross flow plane which is very different from smooth-wall or homogeneous rough-wall boundary layers.

Background: Objective of the research was to study the nutritional status of children and related co-morbidities among primary school children in peri-urban rural setting of Thane district of Maharashtra.Methods: A cross sectional study with primary data collection from government primary school in peri-urban rural setting was conducted with total study duration of one year. Children between 6 and 12 years were included in study from primary school. Schools selected using lottery system and all children present on day on examination were included. Sample size estimation by formula n=4pq/l2 which was 336, but study enrolled 402 children. Anthropometric data (BMI) was analyzed using Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) growth charts. Data was analyzed using Microsoft Excel, statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS)-17, differential and inferential statistics calculated and represented using tables and charts. Chi square test was used for statistical significance and finding association with various factors.Results: The prevalence of overweight (≥85th percentile) among children was 20.83% (male), 20.95% (female) and prevalence of obesity (>95th percentile) was 14.06 % (male), 17.62% (female). Prevalence of underweight was 4.17 % (male), 4.29% (female). Female children were at greater risk of being overweight and obese.Conclusions: Childhood obesity is a problem in peri-urban rural Thane and requires timely intervention for its control.
