Competing Interests

A.K. received a scholarship of the FAZIT-Stiftung for one year during her PhD. The only interest of this founder is to help poor students without salary. The only condition of the scholarship was to finish the PhD-work. This does not alter the authors’ adherence to all the PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
