Abstract

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/about/policies/article-withdrawal). This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief. Post-publication, the editor discovered suspicious changes in authorship between the original submission and the revised version of this paper. The paper was originally submitted by Arash Karimipour (Original First + Corresponding Author). During revision the authors Xinglong Liu (New First Author), Moram A. Fagiry, Radwan A. Almasri, and Zhixiong Li, were all added without the exceptional approval by the journal editor, which is contrary to the journal policy on changes to authorship. The editor reached out to the authors for an explanation, but they failed to provide a satisfactory explanation to these changes. Post-publication, an investigation conducted on behalf of the journal by Elsevier's Research Integrity & Publishing Ethics team also discovered suspicious email addresses used by the authors during submission that were not associated with legitimate researcher accounts. Overall, the editor has determined that the authorship and the findings of the article cannot be relied upon, and has decided to retract the article. The authors disagree with the retraction of the article and dispute the grounds for it. © 2025
