Dead on arrival (DOA), also dead in the field and brought in dead (BID), is a term used to indicate that a patient was found to be already clinically dead upon the arrival of professional medical assistance, often in the form of first responders such as emergency medical technicians, paramedics, or police.
To convert a number to scientific notation, move the decimal point right or left to make the number greater than or equal to one but less than ten, and record the number of poâ¦sitions moved as a power of 10 - the exponent. That is, if the decimal point moves to the left by n positions, then the exponent is 10n.
To see an exponent thatâs negative, write .00000031 in scientific notation. 1  Move the decimal place to the right to create a new number from 1 up to 10. 2  Determine the exponent, which is the number of times you moved the decimal. 3  Put the number in the correct form for scientific notation.
