Effect of Thyroid Dysfunctions on Blood Cell Count and Red Blood Cell Indice

Abstract Background Thyroid hormones have a crucial role in metabolism and proliferation of blood cells. Thyroid dysfunction induces different effects on blood cells such as anemia, erythrocytosis leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and in rare cases causes’ pancytopenia. It also alter RBC indices include MCV, MCH, MCHC and RDW. Thus this study attempted to evaluate effect of hypo & hyperthyroi...

measuring viscoelastic properties of Red Blood Cell using optical tweezers

Efforts have been made to study the behavior of complex materials in micrometer dimensions with various techniques. One of these methods is the use of optical tweezers for biophysical applications. Red blood cells, as the most abundant blood-forming cells, play an important role in the life of living organisms, and their unique mechanical properties are important. In this report, the study of s...

The Firefly Optimization Algorithm: Convergence Analysis and Parameter Selection

The bio-inspired optimization techniques have obtained great attention in recent years due to its robustness, simplicity and efficiency to solve complex optimization problems. The firefly Optimization (FA or FFA) algorithm is an optimization method with these features. The algorithm is inspired by the flashing behavior of fireflies. In the algorithm, randomly generated solutions will be conside...

A Hybrid Grey based Two Steps Clustering and Firefly Algorithm for Portfolio Selection

Considering the concept of clustering, the main idea of the present study is based on the fact that all stocks for choosing and ranking will not be necessarily in one cluster. Taking the mentioned point into account, this study aims at offering a new methodology for making decisions concerning the formation of a portfolio of stocks in the stock market. To meet this end, Multiple-Criteria Decisi...
