The Continual Service Improvement Key Element Guide provides a handy reference to the content contained within the core ITIL Continual Service Improvement guidance and summarises its key elements. Continual Service Improvement delivers consistent, repeatable process activities as part of service quality; ITIL has always emphasized the importance of continual service improvements. Focusing on the process elements involved in identifying and introducing service management improvements, the continual service improvement stage of the lifecycle also deals with issues surrounding service retirement

Written for academic researchers and graduate students in entomology, this is the first comprehensive analysis of Sciomyzid flies. Sciomyzid flies are important as prime candidates for the biological control of snails and slugs that help transmit diseases such as schistosomiasis or are important agricultural pests. They also serve as a paradigm for the study of the evolution of feeding behavior in predatory insects. Starting with analyses of malacophagy in general and then in Diptera specifically, all important aspects of the Sciomyzidae are discussed, including behavior, ecology, life cycles, morphology, and identification. New behavioral and morphological classifications and hypotheses are proposed on the basis of unpublished information and a complete analysis of the extensive literature. Also included are keys to adults, larvae and puparia and a checklist of world species, with information on geographical range and the location of type specimens. The accompanying DVD includes Clifford O. Berg's classic film on the biology of Sciomyzidae and biological control of snails.
