The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) entered into force on May 25, 2018. Compliance with GDPR is especially relevant to the Digital Health (DH) domain, as it is common to process highly sensitive personal data regarding a person's health. However, GDPR compliance is a very challenging process since it requires implementing several technical and organizational measures to maintain compliance. With the aim to facilitate this process, we reviewed the published best practices in GDPR compliance. Then, we customized the findings to fit into the DH domain and created a toolkit for GDPR implementation and compliance. The Activity Planning Tool (APT) is provided as an example of how this toolkit could be utilized in new application development in mobile health in Austria. In the case of our APT, the toolkit was very helpful in integrating the GDPR technical requirements in addition to creating the corresponding compliance impact assessment, processing agreements, privacy policy, data flowcharts, and compliance checklists.

Analyzing microbial samples remains computationally challenging due to their diversity and complexity. The lack of robust de novo protein function prediction methods exacerbates the difficulty in deriving functional insights from these samples. Traditional prediction methods, dependent on homology and sequence similarity, often fail to predict functions for novel proteins and proteins without known homologs.

Spherical tanks have been predominantly used in process industries due to their large storage capability. The fundamental challenges in process industries require a very efficient controller to control the various process parameters owing to their nonlinear behavior. The current research work in this paper aims to propose the Approximate Generalized Time Moments (AGTM) optimization technique for designing Fractional-Order PI (FOPI) and Fractional-Order PID (FOPID) controllers for the nonlinear Single Spherical Tank Liquid Level System (SSTLLS).

Tropical cyclone risks are expected to increase with climate change. One such risk is extreme ocean waves generated by surface winds from these systems. We use synthetic databases of both historical (1980-2017) and future (2015-2050) tropical cyclone tracks to generate wind fields and force a computationally efficient wave model to estimate significant wave heights across all global tropical cyclone basins.

Considering a universal deep neural network organized as a series of nested qubit rotations, accomplished by adjustable data re-uploads we analyze its expressivity. This ability to approximate continuous functions in regression tasks is quantified making use of a partial Fourier decomposition of the generated output and systematically benchmarked with the aid of a teacher-student scheme. While the maximal expressive power increases with the depth of the network and the number of qubits, it is fundamentally bounded by the data encoding mechanism.
