Using Artificial Intelligence for Competitive Procurements: Legal Regulation Issues by D. A. Kazantsev, P. Dohnal, P. Dohnal Jr.

“…It was proved that artificial intelligence technologies, if used thoughtfully, may not only improve the work quality and significantly reduce organizational costs, but also help to develop the basic principles of regulated procurement: transparency of procedures, development of competition for contracts between qualified suppliers, reasonableness of decisions, and economic efficiency of the customer’s expenditures.Scientific novelty: despite a large number of works devoted to both the problems of artificial intelligence in general and its use in procurement in particular, the article considers this topic on the basis of mainly inductive reasoning, built on handling a particular case and experience of complex procurement for knowledge-intensive research, refracted through the prism of essential correlation between the basic concepts of “digitalization”, “automation”, “robotization” and so on.Practical significance: the directions of using artificial intelligence described in this paper can be implemented by corporate and, in the future, by public customers to improve the quality of their procurement. …”

Analysis of Water Seepage into Vacuum Anchor Subjected to Pull-Out Load by Victor V. Mironov, Yuriy A. Ivanyushin, Dmitriy V. Mironov

“…At the same time, the thickness of the permeable layer of the bottom soil, exceeding five embedment lengths of the vacuum anchor into the bottom soil, practically does not affect the value of water seepage inside the vacuum anchor when subjected to a pull-out load. A reduction in costs is predicted when introducing vacuum anchors into the practice of marine construction.…”
