چکیده

Magic: The Gathering (MTG, or Magic) is the oldest and most popular trading card game played today, due in part to the complex interplay of thousands of cards. In two-player games, each player constructs a "main" deck (referred to as simply 'deck' hereafter) which consists of 60 cards, allowing players to pursue an enormous number of strategies and card combinations. When experienced Magic players select cards for their decks, they work to select both powerful cards as well as cards that complement each other. In other words, a Magic deck’s strength is based not only on cards that are powerful individually, but also are synergistic with the other cards in the deck.

Stress Patterns in Single Deck Floating Roofs Subjected to Ground Motion Accelerations

This paper investigates the induced stresses in circular single deck roofs floating on seismically excited storage tanks. Equations of motion are derived using variational principle. Response of deck floating roofs is evaluated for two different classes of ground motions; near-source and long-period far-field records. Besides time histories and frequency contents for a specific tank, peak value...
