Abstract
This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier policy on article withdrawal ( https://www.elsevier.com/about/policies-and-standards/article-withdrawal ). This article has been retracted at the request for the Editor-in-Chief. After publication, the journal received a complaint from Dr. Jero Ahola of LUT University, stating that he was not involved in the article and was included in the authorship without his consent. He also indicated that the email address used for this article was not his genuine email address. Furthermore, the journal noted that only Hao Yang and Jero Ahola were listed as authors in the original manuscript, while Wei Liu, Ting Xue, and Nawal Abdalla Adam were added to the author list during the revision without the editor's approval, which is a breach of journal policy. The authors did not provide any explanation for the issues raised. Consequently, the editor feels that the findings of the article cannot be relied upon, and therefore, the article needs to be retracted.
