Traditional methods for brain tumor classification (BTC) are quite effective, even though usually resulting in clinical manual analysis, which takes more time and prone to errors. Initially, the input image is collected from Brain Tumor dataset. The gathered image is given to preprocessing. In preprocessing stage, trust-based distributed set-membership filtering (TDSF) is used to remove the noise. The preprocessed output is fed to the quaternion offset linear canonical transform (QOLCT) for Grayscale statistic and Haralick texture features extraction. Then the extracted features are fed to the Semantic-Preserved Generative Adversarial Network (SPGAN) for classifying the brain tumor into Glioma, Meningioma and Pituitary. Finally, Hunger Games Search Optimization (HGSO) is used to enhance the weight parameters of SPGAN. The proposed BTC-SPGAN-HGSO method attains the accuracies of 99.72% for Glioma, 99.65% for Meningioma, 99.52% for Pituitary and lowest MSE values across all tumor types, with 0.45% for Glioma, 0.39% for Meningioma, and 0.5% for Pituitary, which performs better than existing models.

In experimental section the Intact aerial parts, powdered materials, and extracts were examined macro- and microscopically and pharmacognostic standardization parameters were determined in accordance with the guidelines given by the World Health Organization. Parameters including extractive values, ash values, and loss on drying were determined. Preliminary phytochemical tests, fluorescence analysis, and chromatographic profiling were performed for the identification and standardization of P. macrophylla. The results of macroscopic studies revealed that leaves are farinose, alternating, foliage, toothed and flowers are unbranched, hermaphroditic, large, herbaceous, round, non-woody stem, roots are adventitious. Length of leave is 11 cm, flower 3 cm, stem 38 cm and root 18 cm. Odor is clove or Eucalyptus like, irritating smell and has pungent/ bitterness. Qualitative analysis confirmed that carbohydrates are not present and saponins, terpenoid, flavonoid, phenolic, phytosterol and fixed oils are not present.

Al<sup>3+</sup> removal was found to be maximal, that is, 98.65% using 0.2 g of AC at 90 min in a solution of pH 5 maintained at 60°C. Using a flame-mode atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAnalyst 700, PerkinElmer, USA), the quantity of Al<sup>3+</sup> in the adsorption solution was measured. For the purpose of studying adsorption, the pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, Jovanovich, and Harkins-Jura isotherms were analyzed. The kinetic study shows that the adsorption of Al<sup>3+</sup> onto Al<sup>3+</sup> is controlled by pseudo-second-order kinetics. It was observed that among these models, the Langmuir model showed the most favorable fit for the equilibrium data on the removal of Al<sup>3+</sup> onto AC, with a strong fit (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.995). The values of thermodynamic parameters such as entropy (ΔS°), Gibbs free energy (ΔG°), and enthalpy (ΔH°) show that the adsorption process is spontaneous and exothermic in nature. In Al<sup>3+</sup> solutions with low concentrations, the AC exhibited a high adsorption rate. In addition, a check of the error function was performed. To find out if the AC could be utilized again after the adsorption procedure, desorption investigations were carried out.

This article presents the design and functionality of a piezoelectrically driven rotatable STM (RSTM), operating within a 12 T cryogen-free magnet and achieving a base temperature below 1.8 K, along with spectroscopic capabilities. The system features a compact STM head unit that combines an inertia drive shaft with spring clamping onto the inner wall of a slender piezoelectric scanning tube (PST), enabling both stepper and scanner functionality while reducing the STM's size to 25.5 mm in length and 9 mm in diameter, facilitating rotation within the magnet bore. Another linear piezoelectric motor, driven by a PST, employs a mechanical linkage to convert linear into rotational motion, driving the STM head unit coaxially aligned with it. This mechanism enables STM accurate rotation, offering angle control from 0° to 90° with an ideal closed-loop accuracy of 0.11° per 0.01 V, as determined by a calibrated Hall sensor. Compact and suspended as a standalone unit at the tail of the sample probe, the RSTM is effectively shielded from external mechanical vibrations via secondary counterweight damping. To validate the device performance, the topographic images of graphite and NbSe<sub>2</sub> and their spectroscopy at various magnetic field orientations up to 12 T and temperatures below 1.8 K are obtained.
