<strong>equation</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>state</strong> (EoS) determines <strong>the</strong> maximum<br />

new hadronic degrees <strong>of</strong> freedoms normally s<strong>of</strong>ten<br />
<strong>the</strong> EoS<br />
but <strong>quark</strong> <strong>matter</strong> can also stiffen <strong>the</strong> EoS<br />
