Nucleons are assumed to interact through the (self-consistent) exchange of scalar ($σ$) and vector ($ω$ and $ρ$) mesons at the quark level. The coupling constants and the mass of the $σ$-meson are determined from the properties of symmetric nuclear matter and the rms charge radius in $^{40}$Ca. Calculated properties of static, closed-shell nuclei, as well as symmetric nuclear matter are compared with experimental data and with the results of Quantum Hadrodynamics (QHD).4 pages, 3 postscript figures are included, uses world scientific style (style format is included).
