The authors apologize for the following errors published in the article. However, these errors do not modify the main assumptions in our work nor affects the discussion (interpretation) of the results.

  1. (1)

    In Eqs. (17), (18) and (19), as the correct unities for parameters λ and μ are s (seconds) instead of s−1 (seconds−1). The correct presentation of equations are the following:

(17)
(18)
(19)
  1. (2)

    The correct equations imply a modification in the calculated values of parameters κ and p (the release probability) in Table 1, which is given below:
