particle physics - The decay of the strange quark via weak interactions?


The strange quark can decay via weak charged currents, following the rule that if $|\Delta S|=1$ then $\Delta S=\Delta Q_H$ where $Q_H$ is the hadron charge. The source below states that an $s$-quark can only decay into 'up-type quarks' why is this so? and can a similar thing be said about $\bar s$?

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
