Quark (dairy product) then known as "syrniki". In Latvia, quark is eaten savory mixed with sour cream and scallions on rye bread or with potatoes. In desserts, quark is commonly baked into "biezpiena plātsmaize", a crusted sheet cake baked with or without raisins. A sweetened treat "biezpiena sieriņš" (small curd cheese) is made of small sweetened blocks of quark dipped in chocolate. Estonian Quark is evaluated on olfaction, vision, taste, after taste, and texture and is distributed nationally as well as to nearby regions. Although common in continental Europe, manufacturing of quark is rare in the Americas. A few dairies manufacture it, such
Quark routinely used in medical applications such as positron emission tomography (PET) and in experiments involving neutrino detection. While the process of flavor transformation is the same for all quarks, each quark has a preference to transform into the quark of its own generation. The relative tendencies of all flavor transformations are described by a mathematical table, called the Cabibbo–Kobayashi–Maskawa matrix (CKM matrix). Enforcing unitarity, the approximate magnitudes of the entries of the CKM matrix are: where "V" represents the tendency of a quark of flavor "i" to change into a quark of flavor "j" (or vice versa). There exists an
