Reviewer 2 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

Dear Authors,

as the publication has already been reviewed with me the first time, I will try to refer to those previous comments. I have checked that the authors have taken all my previous comments into account and have corrected their work. Thank you for this.

As a new remark, please prepare a discussion paragraph, and compare your results and your publication to other similar works on the subject. It is important that such a paragraph appears in the paper, before the conclusion paragraph.
