This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy). This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief. The corresponding author was contacted regarding concerns detailed on PubPeer at https://pubpeer.com/publications/361146E97AA055AFBEDEDCD07290D9#. Whilst the Editor felt that the materials and methods section is superficial and lacks details for reproducibility, it was not possible to determine conclusively whether or not there had been any scientific malpractice. However, unauthorised authorship changes were made when the revised version of this paper was submitted, following suggestions for relatively minor revisions from the reviewers and Guest Editor, with authors Shen-Ming Chen, Tse-Wei Chen and Khalid S. Almaary being added to the paper. No satisfactory explanation was given for this change, nor was it approved by the editor. This authorship change breaches the policies of the journal and as a result, the editors no longer have confidence in this paper and are retracting it. The journal apologises for not having identified the problematic authorship change during the review process and for any resulting inconvenience.
