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.
You will see some non-zero digits with a decimal place after the first digit multiplied by 10 to a certain power. This power tells you how many digits to move the decimal to get to your number. To convert any number into scientific notation, you write the non-zero digits, placing a decimal after the first non-zero digit. Then, you count the number of digits you need to move the beginning decimal to get to where your decimal is now. If you move the decimal to the left, then your power is positive.
