Retraction of this article is made upon the request of the authors, Xue-cong Liu, Qing Zhang, and Xiao-zhou Xia. The authors submitted their manuscript on October 7, 2017, and the authors later made a separate request to withdraw their submission when it was still being reviewed. Due to the glitches of the old submission system and failed communications between the managing editor and the corresponding author, the withdraw request was not properly and promptly received by the editor. As a result, the manuscript successfully passed a vigorous peer-review process, and got accepted for publication in CMES. To set the record straight, we hereby announce the retraction of the paper, and would like to sincerely apologize to our readers for any inconvenience this may have caused. Tech Science Press is fully committed to enforce strict ethical policies and maintain the highest possible publication standards. A new submission system (www.tspsubmission.com) was officially launched which shall facilitate authors to submit and manage their submissions, and also enable our editors and reviewers to better manage and process manuscripts submitted to the journals that we publish. As a side note, we strongly recommend authors use mainstream and reliable email services (e.g., Gmail, Hotmail and Outlook and alike) for future correspondences to avoid any hassles and problems, as the case in this incident.
