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.
Make sure that the number in scientific notation is put into your calculator correctly. Read the directions for your particular calculator. For inexpensive scientific calculators: 1  Punch the number (the digit number) into your calculator. 2  Push the EE or EXP button. 3  Do NOT use the x (times) button!! 4  Enter the exponent number. 5  Use the +/- button to change its sign. 6  Voila! 7  Treat this number normally in all subsequent calculations.
