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.
If the decimal place has moved to the left then multiply by a positive power of 10; to the right will result in a negative power of 10. Example: To write 3040 in scientific notation we must move the decimal point 3 places to the left, so it becomes 3.04 x 103. Example: To write 0.00012 in scientific notation we must move the decimal point 4 places to the right: 1.2 x 10-4. Converting from Scientific Notation to Normal If the power of 10 is positive, then move the decimal point to the right; if it is negative, then move it to the left.
