Abstract: In one aspect, the disclosure relates to methods of treating a subject having a clinical condition associated with low circulating levels of testosterone, comprising: administering to the subject a therapeutically effective dose of sevoflurane, thereby treating the clinical condition associated with low circulating levels of testosterone. In some aspects, the sevoflurane can be administered nasally or by inhalation. In another aspect, exposure to sevoflurane results in long-term increase in serum levels of testosterone in the subject (e.g., 60 days to 120 days). This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure.

Abstract: A communications system allocates communication bandwidth to calls in such a manner for optimizing network system performance. The system uses knowledge about the state of the past and present network demand, and network resources. Predictions of future demand and future network resources are used to calculate future network performance. Allocation decisions are chosen based on network performance calculations and probabilities of achieving future network states.
