The strange-quark occupation factor is determined from the statistical fit of the multiplicity ratio in a wide range of nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energies (). From this single-strange-quark subsystem, was parametrized as a damped trigonometric functionality and successfully implemented into the hadron resonance gas model, at chemical semi-equilibrium. Various particle ratios including , , and are well reproduced. The phenomenology of suggests that the hadrons ( rises) at seem to undergo a phase transition to a mixed phase ( decreases), which is then derived into partons ( remains unchanged with increasing ), at .
