26. B at RHIC energy are differ from those in an earlier publication [22]. Since the present analysis is based on improved experimental data and an extended list of particles in the model, the new parameter set is taken to supersede the older estimates.

47. Here, relative strangeness enhancement in heavy-ion collisions can be measured by the yield ratio of kaons to pions, because approximately 70 % of the produced strangeness appears in kaons at SPS energies. At lower energies this fraction becomes even larger.
