Abstract

The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. After publication, a number of concerns were brought to the publisher by a third party. Fig. 1 appears to overlap with Fig. 1 two papers previously published by one or more of the same authors [1, 2]. Fig. 5 appears to overlap with two papers previously published by one or more of the same authors, Fig. 5 in [2], Fig. 9b in [3], 2a in 2a in [4]. Fig. 6 appears to overlap with Fig. 14 of a paper published previously by one of the same authors [5]. The article shares a number of additional figure similarities with [2]. The article appears to contain significant textual overlap with [2]. The Editor has lost confidence in the data and conclusions of this article. Author Victor Sunday Aigbodion did not respond to correspondence from the Publisher about this retraction.
