Following publication of the original article [1], it came to the authors' attention that the article had published with the affiliations of the corresponding authors erroneously swapped. That is, Kijong Cho had affiliation 1 instead of 2, while In Geol Choi had affiliation 2 instead of 1.

The affiliations information of the corresponding authors has been corrected in the published article, and the correct information may be found in this erratum.
