Seedlings from the same fruit, and the young of the same litter, sometimes differ considerably from each other, though both the young and the parents, as Muller has remarked, have apparently been exposed to exactly the same conditions of life; and this shows how unimportant the direct effects of the conditions of life are in comparison with the laws of reproduction, and of growth, and of inheritance; for had the action of the conditions been direct, if any of the young had varied, all would probably have varied in the same manner.

Advanced oxidants can be added to a foundry's green sand system wherever water is, such as at sand coolers or mullers. In production, before the water is added to the sand, it is treated with small amounts of advanced oxidants and then undergoes an ultrasonic treatment.

Well-conditioned prepared sand mainly is a function of the hydration state and temperature of the return sand provided to the muller. Regular maintenance and calibration of mullers, coolers, aerators and compactibility units is critical to create proactive control, instead of just "putting out fires." The muller is the heart of the green sand system, and its settings and sequence of additions have great bearing on how well the sand is processed.
