Abstract: The present invention belongs to the technical field of medicine, and specifically relates to use of succinic acid in increasing sensitivity of bacteria to antibiotics. The present invention found that the succinic acid can increase proton motive force of bacteria, thereby increasing the number of antibiotics entering the bacteria, and eventually killing the bacteria. Therefore, the succinic acid can increase the sensitivity of bacteria to antibiotics, thereby overcoming the problem of bacterial drug resistance. Combining succinic acid with antibiotics can significantly improve the bactericidal effect of the antibiotics, which has better effects and higher safety and operability compared with only using antibiotics as antibacterial drugs at present.

A second insulator is on the first insulator and the waveguide metamaterial segments. A coupler structure is in the second insulator and has coupler metamaterial segments aligned along a second line. The first line and the second line are parallel and within a plane. A portion of the waveguide overlaps a portion of the coupler structure. The waveguide metamaterial segments intersect the plane and have first widths perpendicular to the plane, and the first widths have a first taper along the first line. The coupler metamaterial segments intersect the plane and have second widths in the direction perpendicular to the plane. The second widths have a second taper along the second line that is different from the first taper of the first widths where the waveguide overlaps the second coupler structure.

Abstract: Certain embodiments involve a model for predicting user behavior. For example, a system accesses user behavior data indicating various users' behaviors during intervals over various periods of time and target behavior data indicating a particular user behavior. The system associates each user with a label that indicates whether a user performed a particular action during or after a time period based on the target behavior data. The system uses the user behavior data to train various deep Restricted Boltzmann Machines (“RBM”) to generate representations of each user over each period of time that indicate the user behavior over the time period. The system generates a predictive model by connecting the RBMs into a deep recurrent neural network and uses the target behavior data associated with each user, along with the representations of each user, as input data to train the deep recurrent neural network to predict user behavior.
