γ-Aminobutiric acid (GABA), the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system is activated by the antispastic and muscle relaxant agent, Baclofen, which is a lipophilic derivative of GABA. Because of its biological and pharmacological importance, there are several reports in the literature about the synthesis of baclofen since 1962. In this study baclofen was easily synthesize...

The industrial world and the academic world have grown far apart. The distance between the worlds primarily originates from different goals and different means of support. This is a problem in the areas of systems engineering and multidisciplinary design. These areas are relatively young, providing lots of opportunity for research. Education in this area is scarce. Publications are tangible exa...
