Property Holding

This book argues that the mass party emerged as the product of two distinct but related “primitive accumulations”—the dismantling of communal land tenure and the corresponding dispossession of the means of local administration. It illustrates this argument by studying the party central to one of the longest regimes of the 20th century—the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) in Mexico, which emerged as a mass party during the 1930s and 1940s. I place the PRI in comparative perspective, studying the failed emergence of Bolivia’s Movimiento Nacionalista Revolucionario (MNR) (1952–64), attempted under similar conditions as the Mexican case. Why was party emergence successful in one case but not the other? The PRI emerged as a mass party in areas in Mexico where land privatization was more intensive and communal village government was weakened, enabling the party’s construction and subsequent absorption of peasant unions and organizations. Ultimately, the overall strength of communal property-holding and concomitant traditional political authority structures blocked the emergence of the MNR as a mass party. Where economic and political expropriation was more pronounced, there was a critical mass of individuals available for political organization, with articulatable interests, and a burgeoning cast of professional politicians that facilitated connections between the party and the peasantry.

The Middle Ages

The quantitative study of English land markets in the three centuries after the close of the middle ages is still in its infancy. The medievalists, exploiting the conveyances of customary tenants recorded in manorial court rolls, have shown how issues such as the devolution of land within families, the frequency with which land was sold and the behaviour of the land market at moments of demographic or economic stress can be addressed by the analysis of such data either aggregatively or by looking at the landholding histories of individual participants in the land market. Early modernists have invariably approached the study of the land market in a non-quantitative fashion, usually as part of an attempt to make observations about some other characteristic of English history. Stone looked at the land market in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries as part of his campaign to prove that the aristocracy was in decline, Macfarlane to show that the property-holding behaviour of the English was ‘individualistic’, Habbakuk to explore the strategies by which the English aristocracy maintained its supremacy and Mingay and others to settle the debate about the effect of enclosure on the small landowner. The early modern land market has rarely, if ever, been seen as worthy of discussion in its own right.

RELATIVITY OF TITLE AT LAW AND IN EQUITY

Property Holding

THE relativity of titles to land is a fundamental feature of property holding in the common law system. It is treated as one of the features that distinguishes it from civilian systems of property holding and proves the pragmatic stuff from which the common law is made.

Property Holding

The rapid turnover of senatorial families during the Principate is a well-known phenomenon, but one which awaits satisfactory explanation. Comparative evidence shows the rate of turnover to have been unusually high. For example, the old aristocratic families of early modern Europe gave way to new at a much slower rate. Patterns of Roman property-holding and of the transmission of wealth from one generation to the next must have been closely associated with this rapid turnover. When an aristocratic family produced no offspring who reached adulthood, the normal pattern of passing the bulk of the estate from one generation to the next within the family was interrupted. On the other hand, if a family produced many children, it might well become impoverished in the process of providing for all of them. Consequently, to perpetuate the family line with its status intact required careful financial and family planning. It was necessary to use or to take into account the various laws and customs regarding the family, including those regulating division of the estate among heirs, adoption, dowry and so on.

XV. On the states of matter

Distinguishing Property

The conception which had been held from the earliest times that the three recognised states of matter were clearly separated from each other received a rude blow from the interpretation put upon the work of Andrews, that the liquid and gaseous states were really continuous, and that the two states could only be classified under one head—the fluid state. Andrews demonstrated that by placing a liquid under a pressure greater than the critical, and then raising the temperature, the liquid might be made to pass to an undoubtedly gaseous state without any sudden change having been visible. Thus the continuity of the liquid and gaseous states seemed established. I say seemed, because I have shown in former papers that under any pressure the fluid passes at a given temperature from a state where it possesses cohesion, capillarity, or surface tension—the distinguishing property of liquid, which prevents it freely mixing with a true gas—to a state where it possesses no cohesion, capillarity, nor surface tension, and where it mixes freely with any gas—in fact, to the gaseous state; and this change takes place at a fixed temperature independent of pressure. As MM. Cailletet and Hautefeuille have recently come to the conclusion that the continuity claimed by Andrews does not exist, and have thus corroborated my work, I wish to place on record more fully the conclusions to which this work has led me.

Distinguishing Property

The goal of this study was to characterize the Ca(2+)-release channel in whole homogenates of left (LV) and right ventricles (RV) of fetal (22 days in gestation) and adult Sprague-Dawley rat hearts using [3H]ryanodine binding and 45Ca2+ fluxes. Although many features of the Ca(2+)-release channels were similar in fetal and adult hearts, biochemical assays revealed quantitative differences. Similar properties include 1) Ca(2+)-sensitive cooperative ryanodine binding to Ca(2+)-release channel, measured as Ca2+ concentration for half-maximal activation (fetal LV: 0.13 +/- 0.02 microM; adults LV: 0.15 +/- 0.02 microM) and Hill coefficient (fetal LV: 2.5 +/- 0.9; adult LV: 2.7 +/- 0.5), and 2) caffeine-sensitive ryanodine binding, measured as the percent increase in ryanodine binding induced by caffeine (fetal LV: 148.8 +/- 16.9% vs. adult LV: 171.4 +/- 34.9%). The distinguishing property was the lower Ca(2+)-release channel density in the fetal heart (LV: 0.22 +/- 0.03 pmol/mg protein) compared with adult heart (LV: 0.59 +/- 0.04 pmol/mg protein; P < 0.05), as determined by [3H]ryanodine binding. The lower density of Ca(2+)-release channel is supported by the finding that there is very low ryanodine-sensitive oxalate-supported 45Ca2+ uptake in the fetal heart. The tested characteristics of the Ca(2+)-release channel were similar between LV and RV in both fetal and adult rat hearts. Ou results indicate that expression of Ca2+-release channels in sarcoplasmic reticulum increases during postnatal growth in the rat heart. This is consistent with previous physiological reports that Ca2+ available for excitation-contraction coupling in the fetal heart is derived mainly from transsarcolemmal Ca2+ influx.
