  "abstract": "A recursive Green's function technique is developed to calculate the spin-dependent conductance in mesoscopic structures. Using this technique, we study the spin-dependent electronic transport of quantum point contacts in the presence of the Rashba spin-orbit interaction. We observed that some oscillations in the `quantized' conductance are induced by the spin-orbit interaction, and indicated that the oscillations may stem from the spin-orbit coupling associated multiple reflections. It is also indicated that the 0.7 structure of the conductance observed in mesoscopic experiments would not stem from the spin-orbit interaction.",
