Proof of Equation (4.15)

\begin{equation*}
{{m}_{2}}={{\mu }^{2}}+{{\sigma }^{2}}-\frac{{{\sigma }^{2}}}{D}\exp \left( \frac{-{{\left[ x-\mu \right]}^{2}}}{2{{\sigma }^{2}}} \right)\left( x+\mu \right){\Bigr|}_{a}^{b}.
\end{equation*}Proof:
\begin{align*}
& \frac{{{\partial }^{2}}{{M}_{x}}\left( t \right)}{\partial {{t}^{2}}} \\
& =\frac{-{{\sigma }^{2}}}{D}\frac{\partial }{\partial t}\left\{ \exp \left( \frac{-{{\left[ x-\left( \mu +{{\sigma }^{2}}t \right) \right]}^{2}}}{2{{\sigma }^{2}}} \right){\Bigr|}_{a}^{b} \exp \left( \mu t+\frac{{{\sigma }^{2}}{{t}^{2}}}{2} \right) \right\} \\
& +\frac{1}{D}\frac{\partial }{\partial t}\left\{ \frac{x-\left( \mu +{{\sigma }^{2}}t \right)}{2}\exp \left( \frac{-{{\left[ x-\left( \mu +{{\sigma }^{2}}t \right) \right]}^{2}}}{2{{\sigma }^{2}}} \right)h_{\tfrac{-1}{2}}^{\frac{-{{\left[x-\left( \mu +{{\sigma }^{2}}t \right) \right]}^{2}}}{2{{\sigma }^{2}}}}{\Bigr|}_{a}^{b} \right\}\exp \left( \mu t+\frac{{{\sigma }^{2}}{{t}^{2}}}{2} \right)\left( \mu +t{{\sigma }^{2}} \right) \\
& +\frac{1}{D}\left\{ \frac{x-\left( \mu +{{\sigma }^{2}}t \right)}{2}\exp \left( \frac{-{{\left[ x-\left( \mu +{{\sigma }^{2}}t \right) \right]}^{2}}}{2{{\sigma }^{2}}} \right)h_{\tfrac{-1}{2}}^{\frac{-{{\left[ x-\left( \mu +{{\sigma }^{2}}t \right) \right]}^{2}}}{2{{\sigma }^{2}}}}{\Bigr|}_{a}^{b} \right\}\frac{\partial }{\partial t}\left[ \exp \left( \mu t+\frac{{{\sigma }^{2}}{{t}^{2}}}{2} \right) \right]\left( \mu +t{{\sigma }^{2}} \right) \\
& +\frac{1}{D}\left\{ \frac{x-\left( \mu +{{\sigma }^{2}}t \right)}{2}\exp \left( \frac{-{{\left[ x-\left( \mu +{{\sigma }^{2}}t \right) \right]}^{2}}}{2{{\sigma }^{2}}} \right)h_{\tfrac{-1}{2}}^{\frac{-{{\left[ x-\left( \mu +{{\sigma }^{2}}t \right) \right]}^{2}}}{2{{\sigma }^{2}}}}{\Bigr|}_{a}^{b} \right\}\left[ \exp \left( \mu t+\frac{{{\sigma }^{2}}{{t}^{2}}}{2} \right) \right]\frac{\partial }{\partial t}\left( \mu +t{{\sigma }^{2}} \right). \\
\end{align*}
With a few steps of operations,
\begin{align*}
& \frac{{{\partial }^{2}}{{M}_{x}}\left( t \right)}{\partial {{t}^{2}}}\\
&=\frac{-{{\sigma }^{2}}x}{D}\exp \left( \frac{-{{\left[ x-\left( \mu +{{\sigma }^{2}}t \right) \right]}^{2}}}{2{{\sigma }^{2}}} \right)\exp \left( \mu t+\frac{{{\sigma }^{2}}{{t}^{2}}}{2} \right){\Bigr|}_{a}^{b} \\
& -\frac{{{\sigma }^{2}}}{D}\left( \mu +t{{\sigma }^{2}} \right)\exp \left( \mu t+\frac{{{\sigma }^{2}}{{t}^{2}}}{2} \right)\exp \left( \frac{-{{\left[ x-\left( \mu +{{\sigma }^{2}}t \right) \right]}^{2}}}{2{{\sigma }^{2}}} \right){\Bigr|}_{a}^{b} \\
& +\frac{x-\left( \mu +{{\sigma }^{2}}t \right)}{2D}{\left( \mu +{{\sigma }^{2}}t \right)^{2}}\exp {\left( \mu t+\frac{{{\sigma }^{2}}{{t}^{2}}}{2} \right)}\exp \left( \frac{-{{\left[ x-\left( \mu +{{\sigma }^{2}}t \right) \right]}^{2}}}{2{{\sigma }^{2}}} \right)h_{\tfrac{-1}{2}}^{\frac{-{{\left[ x-\left( \mu +{{\sigma }^{2}}t \right) \right]}^{2}}}{2{{\sigma }^{2}}}}{\Bigr|}_{a}^{b} \\
& +\frac{x-\left( \mu +{{\sigma }^{2}}t \right)}{2D}\left( {{\sigma }^{2}} \right)\exp \left( \mu t+\frac{{{\sigma }^{2}}{{t}^{2}}}{2} \right)\exp \left( \frac{-{{\left[ x-\left( \mu +{{\sigma }^{2}}t \right) \right]}^{2}}}{2{{\sigma }^{2}}} \right)h_{\tfrac{-1}{2}}^{\frac{-{{\left[ x-\left( \mu +{{\sigma }^{2}}t \right) \right]}^{2}}}{2{{\sigma }^{2}}}}{\Bigr|}_{a}^{b} .
\end{align*}
Let $t=0$ and we derive
\begin{equation*}
{{m}_{2}}=\frac{{{\partial }^{2}}{{M}_{x}}\left( t \right)}{\partial {{t}^{2}}}{{|}_{t=0}}={{\mu }^{2}}+{{\sigma }^{2}}-\frac{{{\sigma }^{2}}}{D}\exp \left( \frac{-{{\left[ x-\mu \right]}^{2}}}{2{{\sigma }^{2}}} \right)\left( x+\mu \right){\Bigr|}_{a}^{b}.
\end{equation*}
