The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. Following publication, concerns were raised about the figures. In this publication, there are some duplicated panels in Figs. 6 and 7, as well as between Figs. 8 and 10. Additionally, Fig. 12 is identical to the 40 × 8 panel shown in Fig. 11 of this article. The 40 × 1 panel in Fig. 1 and 100 × 3 panel in Fig. 2 and 40 × 3 panel in Fig. 3 and 100 × 3 panel in Fig. 8 and 100 × 1 panel in Fig. 10 and 100 × 8 panel in Fig. 11 appear to be duplicated from Figs. 7, 3, 6, 2, 2, 4 from [1]. Furthermore, the 40 × 1 panel in Fig. 6 and 100 × 3 panel in Fig. 7 appear to be duplicated from Fig. 5b and Fig. 2c in [2]. This article also contains substantial text overlap with [1, 2].
The Publisher has not been able to obtain a current email address for authors Mohamed Anwar K Abdelhalim and Bashir M Jarrar.
