Dear Students/Parents
APEX INSTITUTE has been established with sincere and positive resolve to do something rewarding for ENGG. / PRE-MEDICAL aspirants. For this the APEX INSTITUTE has been instituted to provide a relentlessly motivating and competitive atmosphere.
We at 'Apex Institute' are committed to provide our students best quality education with ethics. Moving in this direction, we have decided that unlike other expensive and 5star facility type institutes who are huge investors and advertisers, we shall not invest huge amount of money in advertisements. It shall rather be invested on the betterment, enhancement of quality and resources at our center.
We are just looking forward to have 'word-of-mouth' publicity instead. Because, there is only a satisfied student and his/her parents can judge an institute's quality and it's faculty members coaching.
Those coaching institutes, who are investing highly on advertisements, are actually, wasting their money on it, in a sense. Rather, the money should be invested on highly experienced faculty members and on teaching gears.
We all at 'Apex' are taking this initiative to improve the quality of education along-with each student's development and growth.
Committed to excellence...
With best wishes.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

Read the following passage carefully and answer questions 1.1 to 1.3.
In mathematics and computer science, graph theory is the study of graphs, mathematical
structures used to model pairwise relations between objects from a certain collection. A
graph in this context is a collection of vertices or nodes and a collection of edges that
connect pairs of vertices. An edge may be undirected, meaning that there is no distinction
between the two vertices associated with it, or directed, in which it is directed from one
vertex to another. The graph, in addition to vertices, may contain only undirected edges
or only directed edges or a combination of both. The graphs studied in graph theory
should not be confused with the graphs of functions or other kinds of graphs.
Graphs can be used in modelling and treatment of many problems of practical inter-
est in physical, biological and social systems. In computer science, graphs are used to
represent networks of communication, data organization, computational devices, flow of
computation, etc. In chemistry a graph makes a natural model for a molecule, where
vertices represent atoms and edges represent bonds. This approach is especially used in
computer processing of molecular structures. Likewise, graph theory is useful in conser-
vation biology where a vertex can represent regions where certain species exist and the
edges represent migration paths, or movement between the regions. This information is
important when looking at breeding patterns or tracking the spread of diseases or how
changes in the movement of one species can affect the other species.

Read the following passage carefully and answer questions 1.4 to 1.6.
Silicon is a tetravalent metalloid, comprising about 28% of the earth’s crust and is
the eighth most common element in the universe by mass. However, it rarely occurs
in the free form in nature. It is combined with oxygen and exists in various forms.
Silicate minerals are the most common minerals on the earth, and include quartz,
feldspar, mica, amphibole, etc. The silicates contain SiO4−
4 units.
Purification of silicon is of paramount importance and is achieved by multi step
processes. In one such process, metallurgical grade silicon is produced by treating
silica with coke at very high temperature (Equation 1). The product consists of about
98% silicon and about 1-2% of impurities in the form of metals and metal oxides.
Further purification is done by converting silicon to trichlorosilane (Equation 2). The
trichlorosilane is purified by distillation. Finally, pure silicon is obtained by reducing
the trichlorosilane by hydrogen (Equation 3).
SiO2 + 2C → Si + 2CO (1)
Si + 3HCl → SiCl3H + H2 (2)
SiCl3H + H2 → Si + 3HCl (3)
1.4 In the first step (Equation 1), which of the following oxide impurity would also reduce
to the corresponding metal?
(A) Iron oxide. (B) Aluminium oxide.
(C) Calcium oxide. (D) Sodium oxide.

1.6 In step 2 (Equation 2), silicon is converted to trichlorosilane as the trichlorosilane
(A) can be oxidised easily.
(B) is further reduced by the hydrogen formed in the process.
(C) can be separated by dissolving in water.
(D) has a lower boiling point than that of the solid impurities.
1.7 In the graph below, the scale on x-axis shows consumption of electric energy per person
per year and y-axis shows human development index (HDI) indicating average living

statement which is not consistent with the information presented in the graph.
(A) USA’s position is significantly away from the overall trend curve.
(B) India’s position on the graph indicates both low electric consumption as well
as low HDI.
(C) A cluster of countries that includes Germany roughly indicates optimal electric
consumption for high HDI.

2.14 Presynaptic neurons generate nerve impulses (ac-
tion potentials) which are transmitted to the post-
synaptic neuron via synapses (junctions). Presy-
naptic neurons release neurotransmitters in the
synapse which bind to the specific receptors on the
postsynaptic neuron. A diagrammatic figure show-
ing connectivity of neurons in a neural circuit is
given below. The dendrites and cell body of a post-
synaptic neuron (A) receive synaptic contacts from
5 different presynaptic neurons (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5).
The presynaptic neurons 1 and 5 release an excita-
tory neurotransmitter, acetylcholine (Ach) to act
on the postsynaptic neuron A, whereas presynap-
tic neurons 2, 3 and 4 release an inhibitory neuro-
transmitter, γ-amino butyric acid (GABA) to act
on ‘A’. The ability of the postsynaptic neuron to
generate the action potential depends upon the relative contribution from the excitatory
and inhibitory neurotransmitters. Choose the correct answer(s) from the options given
below.
(A) Neuron A will generate an action potential if only neurons 1 and 5 release Ach
on it.
(B) Neuron A will generate an action potential if neuron 1 releases Ach and at the
same time neurons 2, 3, and 4 release GABA on it.
(C) Neuron A will not generate an action potential but instead gets inhibited if
neuron 1 releases Ach and at the same time neurons 2, 3, and 4 release GABA
on it.
