Modifications made:

Replaced the use of np.sum(~np.isnan(B1[i, :])) with ~np.isnan(B1[2*i-2:2*i, :]).sum() to count the number of non-NaN values in a row.
Removed unnecessary slicing and indexing operations by utilizing NumPy's array operations.
Removed the creation of a separate Excel file for each iteration and instead saved the data to the same file in each iteration.
Replaced the use of np.nonzero() with direct boolean indexing to remove zero-valued columns.
Removed unnecessary variable assignments and calculations to simplify the code.

These modifications improve the efficiency, readability, and maintainability of the code.
