We have become aware that figures, tables, experimental data, and a whole paragraph in the results and discussion section of the published article [1] are identical to a previously published paper by the same authors [2]. While the authors claimed that the work was sufficiently different to the previously published work, our editorial board disagreed, and we have therefore decided to retract the paper. Despite low levels of textual overlap, the work is essentially the same as that previously reported.

MDPI is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics and takes the responsibility to enforce strict ethical policies and standards very seriously. To ensure the addition of only high quality scientific works to the field of scholarly publication, [1] is retracted and shall be marked accordingly. We apologize to the readership of Processes for any inconvenience caused. We note that two other papers by the same author are being retracted for similar reasons [3,4].
