Just a quick glance; there's no explicit mention of the Second Temple Period.
I didn't look at your source, but looking at the discussion about Prophets' dates makes me want to be wary of the amazing differences people assign to actual events and when texts were written that speaks about them.

Now that I had a couple seconds to look at the table more closely, I would definitely consider adding some perspectives that put Daniel's composition, e.g., in the 2nd century BCE. But also, I would consider splitting the Roman period into the dates of specific emperors just because it often makes a difference. But that's just my take.
