The editor invited a total of three reviewers. Each reviewer provided 4-6 comments, which were mostly fair and reasonable. Although there were one or two comments that seemed to take things out of context, the rest of the comments can be appropriately considered. Hopefully, after making the necessary revisions, the next submission will be accepted.
