Over the past year the pandemic has forced all of us to become our own personal MacGyver: maneuvering ordinary things—and in our case workflows—in unpredictable and innovative ways to get the job at hand completed
Watson Library had a collection of publications from the Galleria Martano
that had been gifted to us by the inimitable Liliana Dematteis
While most of us were working from home cataloging electronic books in a home-accessible PDF format
this collection was languishing in the library awaiting cataloging

At that point few staff members were allowed in the library and those folks were busy processing months of unopened boxes of books and periodicals
so while cataloging 135 books was not a high priority for those going onsite
I was longing for a task that involved handling an actual physical item
we decided to find a way to bring the books and the cataloger together

the thought of shipping books in order to have a cataloger work on them at home would be ridiculous
A more efficient workflow is to have both book and cataloger in the same location where the books could more swiftly be moved about through a workflow that includes marking them as received
sending them to conservation for any treatment as needed
This workflow is more readily done in one building
but… with a pandemic and social distancing measures in place
old ways of doing things go out the window
the technical services department put their heads together and came up with a plan to have the books carefully shipped to me through UPS Ground service
I would catalog them from the comfort of my own home
Three books from the Galleria Martano collection unwrapped from their acid-free paper covering
The books arrived in four boxes—each with a plastic bag swaddling the books with bubble wrap padding
Within the bags were several small groupings of books elaborately wrapped in acid-free paper
It was like Christmas morning for a bibliophile
green camping table set up next to my desk where I would assiduously unwrap the books and examine them
A selection of titles from the Documenti Martano series (1967 to 1994)
While artists’ books are always a pleasure to catalog because of their range of physical formats
I also found this exhibition catalog collection to be quite fascinating
The completeness of the collection allows for a unique examination into the historical development of a specific art gallery within a particular city
It also offers a bibliographic snapshot of the artistic Zeitgeist of Turin from the 1960s to 2010s
A selection of titles from Documenti Martano/Due series (1967 to1975)
The Galleria Martano was founded in 1965 in Turin by Liliana Dematteis and her husband
Martano directed the gallery until his death in 1971
but sagaciously suspended exhibition activity for a year
During the early 1970s she collaborated with Maurizio Fagiolo Dell’Arco
by sponsoring a series of contemporary art conferences that were meant to embrace the entire art world: art critics
the gallery had two locations in Turin—one on Lungo Po Cadorna
The original Galleria Martano location had a more traditional exhibition program
while the Galleria Martano/Due focused on Futurism and abstract art
Dematteis has stressed the gallery’s keen interest in publishing avant-garde artists’ work which had been suppressed from the 1920 to the 1940s due to the Italian fascist regime
the gallery revived its exhibitions in the direction of conceptual art and historical photography
the gallery relocated to via Principe Amedeo
where the focus was on artists such as Marco Gastini
the gallery kept in sight both the art historical past of Turin and the art of the present-day Turin
always looking to submit to the public view previously unexamined
Dematteis remained in charge until the gallery closed its doors in 2013

The Galleria Martano publications can be found in Watsonline under the name of the gallery in an author search or by the series title under a title search
Watson Library is indebted to Liliana Dematteis for giving to us such an incredible collection for future research
The Galleria Martano books are re-boxed and ready to be shipped back to the Thomas J

If the Rangers are going to make a run at the postseason
they need Mike Minor to keep doing what he’s been doing this year
the American League is rife with interesting story lines
Although the Astros are likely going to run-away with the West (ok
one of the intriguing developments going into the summer is the other Texas-based AL team
as the Rangers have positioned themselves to potentially be buyers at this year’s trade deadline en route to their first potential postseason berth since 2016
and most projection systems had them a near-90 loss team
Texas is playing well through the first ~40 percent of the season
The Rangers are currently 36-32 coming off a series split with the sputtering Red Sox
The surprises have been all over the lineup and on the mound
led by two unlikely starting pitchers that few expected to be impact-players
Earlier this week, my colleague Kenny Kelly profiled veteran journeyman Lance Lynn’s excellent year
Lynn is playing well despite bouncing around between four teams over the last two years
Today we take a look at Mike Minor’s sudden surge as a reliable starter
a mere year-and-a-half after Texas moved him into the rotation following a season in the Royals’ bullpen
Texas’ previously yawn-inducing one/two punch has actually been one of the most effective tandems in baseball this season
with Minor leading all pitchers in bWAR and Lynn not that farr off the top-ten
Mike Minor’s 4.5 bWAR is nearly a full-win ahead of second-place Hyun-Jin Ryu
who is showing his dominance for the first time in years
Last season the Rangers signed the 31-year-old Minor to a three-year deal
expecting to turn the then-reliever into a starter
Coming off a season in which he tossed 77 ⅔ innings out of Kansas City’s bullpen
Minor started 28 games and pitched 157 innings for Texas in 2018; he showed particular steps forward in the second half of the season
2018 was a success as far as getting Minor’s innings up from less-than 80 to 157
as he posted an earned run average 11 percentage points better than the league average (a 111 ERA+)
and his strikeout rate went down eight percentage points
he showed marked improvement as the year progressed
2019 has been an opportunity for Minor to demonstate that 2018 was not a fluke
earning his an ERA+ of 195 (or if you prefer
His strikeout rate is hovering around 25 percent
which is considerably higher than his career 21.8 percent
which is right in-line with what we would expect from a league average standpoint
and though his walk rate is a tick higher than last year
There is one thing that Minor has been good at this season that is not likely to sustain itself through the remainder of the year: his ability to leave men on base and get out of innings
His strand rate this season is a sky-high 87.1 percent
considerably higher than his 74.6 percent career mark
Putting this into the context of the average American League starter
we generally would expect that 87 percent to dip down to about 71 percent
which obviously would have a major effect on the number of runs scoring against Minor
and diving more deeply into Minor’s repertoire
we some some subtle changes in his approach
he is relying less on his four seam fastball
and supplementing it more often with his curveball and changeup
Minor has adjusted his pitch selection slightly
Here is the breakdown of aggregate pitches thrown since Texas moved him back into the rotation
Minor’s contact-against percentages have largely stayed the same between 2018 and 2019
with approximately 20 percent of contact classified as soft
The results on the types of balls batters are putting in play against him however has changed pretty substantially
Minor generated a near-45 percent flyball rate
as batters have generated 34.8 percent flyballs to 43.9 percent on gounders
a surprising development in the hitters’ fly-ball revolution days
While few would have projected Minor for a career-year on the other-side-of-thirty
he’s been pitching very well going back to the second-half of last season
Minor held hitters to a paltry .194/.251/.369 slash line
For the Rangers to sustain success and make a wild card run
they are at the mercy of the top-end of their pitching staff (Minor and Lynn) and are hoping for their offense to continue to perform
While they remain an underdog to earn a wildcard spot
if the Indians and Red Sox can’t put together a decent winning streak
a Texas postseason berth is there for the taking

With the announcement of the Mets new ownership group it’s a dream come true for many fans..
but a lesson in being careful what you wish for.
On Wednesday afternoon, Bloomberg reported that Fred Wilpon, owner of the New York Mets since August of 2002
will be moving to a minority ownership stake
selling up to an 80 percent share in the organization to billionaire Steve Cohen (a current minority owner)
and the deal is reported to keep Wilpon as current principal owner at the helm for the next five years
Cohen will have more and more influence over the course of the next few years until he ascends to the top position as majority owner in 2024
Cohen is from Long Island, and has been interested in purchasing a Major League franchise for some time. His unsuccessful bid to purchase the Dodgers from the McCourts positioned him to invest in the Mets as a minority owner
who founded hedge fund SAC Capital Advisors in the early 90s
ethics violations and guilty pleas of fraud and insider trading by the business led to record finds
Though the organization paid a then-record fine related to fraud and insider trading
Cohen has done exceedingly well financially
My esteemed colleague and legal expert Sheryl Ring will have more on Cohen and SAC’s legal troubles in another article
it’s not a great look that MLB will overwhelmingly approve an owner implicated in fraudulent finances and insider trading
At a time when labor relations are strained
and whispers (and shouts) of collusion appear in the press weekly
Though it seems the Wilpons have led the Mets for decades, Fred Wilpon only became a majority owner in 2002, when he purchased a 50 percent share from Nelson Doubleday with whom he was a 50/50 partner. In that time, the Mets have had some success on the field, but continued to remain a foil to the Yankees near-perennial big-spending
Personally distracted and financially affected by the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme
the Wilpons appeared to put in an austerity plan while they licked their wounds after being bilked out of millions of dollars in Madoffs’ phony funds
the Mets made the playoffs just three times in that 17-year stretch
Though the new ownership structure started off strong with the acquisition of Carlos Beltran and former Cy Young winner Pedro Martinez
it took several years for New York to ascend to the top of the NL East
as they finished with a strong 97-65 record and made it to game seven of the NLCS (the infamous Beltran strikeout)
It took a further nine years before the Mets made it back to the playoffs
and in that time they finished more than 17 games out of first place in six consecutive frustrating and futile seasons
On top of the on-field failures following the game seven loss
2008 led to the dismantling of Madoff’s scheme
and an austerity program driven by the Mets front office
During this period of cheapness and non-competitiveness
the Wilpons executed on the grand opening of a new stadium
Citi Field (aptly named for a bank that in the process of burning to the ground at the time amidst a broader financial crisis)
A fine and much-needed stadium was a great distraction for a team mired in mediocrity that had been playing in an antiquated home park
Opening day at Citi Field in 2009 included much fanfare for a team that had been playing in the dilapidated Shea Stadium for decades
While Citi Field has a lot of character and great views and good energy
there was a distinct and conspicuous absence of Mets history
Dodgers fan-boy Fred Wilpon and company opted to celebrate the Brooklyn Dodgers more than the New York Mets
or staircase named for any of the Mets greatest players
who appropriately and unsurprisingly generated backlash at the affront
On the field, the Mets managed to somehow make it to the World Series in 2015 despite being a .500 team in late-July. The 90-win Mets took the Dodgers to the brink in the NLDS, prevailing in five games (sorry Fred), and then had their way with the favored Cubs
The Mets met their match in the red-hot run-and-gun Royals
Though New York led late in all five games
they lost four of them thanks to a bullpen that simply could not keep a lead
the Wilpon tenure of ownership will likely go down as a negative period for Mets fans
Mired by dozens of games out of first place for many of their years at the helm
Mets fans’ inferiority complex in the city and in the division reared its ugly head regularly as the team struggled to retain relevance
the new ownership group can allay all fears by spending on good players on the free agent market and locking up strong
Whether that is the reality remains to be seen
as this may buck the trend for all MLB teams at the moment—a moment when it seems all 30 teams are on an austerity plan
Mookie Betts should start taking some grounders
because he ought to play second base in the World Series
Boston’s offense was a well-oiled machine in both the LDS and LCS
combining home run firepower with the ability to advance players bases through singles and doubles
They received production from all parts of the lineup
with key hits from unlikely players like Christian Vazquez and Jackie Bradley Jr
and taking extra bases added to the litany of an offense that never stops
where the bottom of the order is just as dangerous as the rest of the lineup
Shortly after the Red Sox defeated the Astros in the the fifth game of the ALCS
I got to wondering how their barrage of offensive firepower would translate to a National League park
one in which the designated hitter disappears
The answer was immediately clear to me: put Mookie Betts at second base when playing on the road
There are few athletes as gifted as Betts: the guy can bowl a 300 game, solve a Rubik’s cube in less than two minutes, dunk a basketball, and makes spectacular defensive plays in the outfield
the position he played when the Red Sox drafted him in 2011
With Dustin Pedroia expected to man the position for the foreseeable future
and the lofty expectations that Betts would ascend to the Majors in relatively quick fashion
Boston had him split his time between the outfield and second base
as Betts has proved to be one of the best right fielders in the game
Betts played 14 games at second and 37 games in the outfield
Although he only played second base once this season
there is no reason to believe he wouldn’t be a fine substitute for Ian Kinsler or Brock Holt
who have been the fill-ins for an injured Pedroia
Let’s break this down to make this an even easier decision
they’re essentially trading-in Kinsler / Holt’s offense for Martinez’ while sacrificing some defensive prowess
but let’s take a look at the other side of the ball
Martinez played 57 games in the outfield this season
Mookie Betts saved Boston 19 runs over the course of his 120 appearances in the outfield
Martinez only cost Boston a barely noticeable .05 runs per game
this would tell us the Red Sox would sacrifice .2 runs per game by making the defensive switch
assuming Betts’ defense at second base was neutral
It’s also worth pointing out that Brock Holt’s second base numbers were slightly below average (-3)
with Ian Kinsler slightly above average (6)
We’re not exactly depriving Ryne Sandberg-edque defense by making this change
the numbers blow the doors off the comparatively neutral defensive stats
In 150 total games in which Martinez played
Based on the sacrifices we saw in defensive metrics
getting his bat in the lineup makes up for it nearly ten-fold
While it’s obvious that Betts is the better outfielder than J.D
two-thirds of the Dodgers offense is right-handed
it’s likely that the right side of the field gets less action over the course of the handful of games in Los Angeles
furthering the point that there isn’t a ton of risk using this strategy
The positives are clearly evident when you look at the value diminished by putting out a weaker right fielder
Mookie’s athleticism and history at second base make this a no-brainer in a short series
Having ALCS MVP Jackie Bradley manning centerfield should assuage fears that Martinez has to cover that much ground
having his bat in the lineup every World Series game will be critical for the Red Sox success

The Oriental hornet (Vespa orientalis) is spreading across the Italian territory threatening the health and wellbeing of honeybees by feeding on adult individuals and larvae and by plundering hive resources
Considering the capacity of other hornets in harboring honeybee viruses
the aim of this study was to identify the possible role of the Oriental hornet as a vector for honeybee viruses
Adult hornets were subjected to macroscopical examination to identify the presence of lesions
and to biomolecular investigation to detect the presence of six honeybee viruses: Acute Bee Paralysis Virus (ABPV)
No macroscopical alterations were found while biomolecular results showed that DWV was the most detected virus (25/30)
In 20/30 samples several co-infections were identified
The most frequent (17/30) was the association between DWV and ABPV
One sample (1/30) showed the presence of four different viruses namely DWV
The detected viruses are the most widespread in apiaries across the Italian territory suggesting the possible passage from honeybees to V
by predation of infected adult honeybees and larvae
it is still not clear if these viruses are replicative but we can suggest a role as mechanical vector of V
little information is available on the presence of honeybee pathogens in V
The aim of this study was to assess the presence of six honeybee viruses
30 adult Oriental hornets were collected from three different apiaries located in the Campania region (A= 40°51’17.866”N
14°22’14.671” E; B=40°50’32.898” N
14°4’50.426 E; C=40°52’31.896” N
Samples were captured during their predatory activity in the proximity of the hives using a butterfly net
All samples were transported in 50 mL tubes to the laboratory of Veterinary General Pathology and Anatomical Pathology of the Department of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Productions
University of Naples “Federico II” where they were immobilized with chilling for 5 min at -20°C
A 150 base pairs segment of 28s ribosomal RNA of V
orientalis was also amplified as a housekeeping gene to ensure the presence of amplifiable cDNA in each sample by using the following primer pair designed on the sequence available on GenBank (KF933071.1): V.Orientalis 28S_1 FW: TGGGATGAACCAAACGCAGA
V.Orientalis 28S_1 REV: CTAGTTGCTTCGGCAGGTGA
one no template control (NTC) was included as negative control
BQCV and gBlocks Gene Fragments (Integrated DNA Technologies
USA) mimicking CBPV and KBV intended amplicons were employed as positive controls
Amplification products were then migrated by electrophoresis on 2.5% agarose gel in TAE buffer (Tris-Acetate-EDTA) along with a 100 bp molecular marker (Bioline)
stained with ethidium bromide and observed under UV with the ChemiDoc gel scanner (Bio-Rad)
Ethical review and approval were waived for this study
and national implementing decree following the European regulation 2010/63/UE
ethical approval is not necessary for invertebrates with the except of Cephalopoda
Figure 1 Adult individual of Vespa orientalis showing the typical yellow bands of the abdominal metasoma
Macroscopical examination did not reveal any alterations in the examined samples (30/30; 100%)
which could have suggested the presence of viral infection
PCR results showed that 28/30 (93%) samples were positive for at least one virus
while no sample was found positive for CBPV
ABPV in 19/30 samples (63%) and BQCV in 13/30 samples (43%)
KBV and SBV cDNAs were amplified in 1/30 samples (3%) and 1/30 samples (3%)
28s ribosomial RNA amplification confirmed the integrity of all analyzed cDNAs
several co-infections were identified in 20/30 (67%) samples
the association between DWV and ABPV was the most frequent (17/30; 56%)
One sample (1/30; 3%) showed the presence of four different viruses namely DWV
For a comprehensive view of PCR positivity and additional co-infections, see Table 1
Table 1 Detection of honeybee viruses and 28s ribosomal RNA in V.orientalis by multiplex PCR
or conspecific feeding in close proximity of rotten fruits or flowers
it is still not clear if these viruses are replicative and represent real infections or if the Oriental hornet is an “incidental host” which acquired viruses passively through feeding
Future analysis aimed at quantifying the viral load and sequencing of the viral genetic material harbored by both Oriental hornet and honeybees collected from the same apiary
Further studies are needed to better understand the role of V
