In Table 2 of this article, multiple errors were present:

  • The citations to the references (in between square brackets) were missing in the first column and the corresponding references were missing from the reference list.

  • In columns 4-6/row 2, some of the numbers in between brackets were incorrectly formatted as reference citations (as a result of a typesetting mistake); formatted in bold in the incorrect version of Table 2 below.

  • In column 7/row 5, a number in between brackets was incorrectly formatted as reference citations (as a result of a typesetting mistake); formatted in bold in the incorrect version of Table 2 below.

In addition, some of the author correction instructions were published as article notes (as a result of a typesetting mistake).
