The editors have retracted this article [1] because Figures 1 and 2, as well as parts of the text, were duplicated from a previously published article by the same authors [2]. In addition, Figure 3 was duplicated from a previously published article by Afanasyev et al [3]. This article is therefore redundant.

All authors agree to this retraction.
