ResumenEl objetivo de este artículo es presentar los hallazgos relacionados con establecer los obstáculos que dificultan la transferencia de conocimiento de parte de los centros e institutos de investigación de la región triángulo del café de Colombia. Dicha valoración se realizó con un modelo de evaluación de transferencia de conocimiento, el cual se validó y aplicó a 24 centros e institutos de investigación de dicha región. Para el efecto se consideró un estudio de tipo descriptivo exploratorio y correlacional. Los resultados indican que los obstáculos para una efectiva transferencia de conocimiento se relacionan con la falta de una cultura organizacional que permita la transferencia, con el desconocimiento de convocatorias de proyectos, con los demasiados procesos organizacionales requeridos, y con la falta de uso de tecnologías de información.

AbstractThe objective of this article is to present the findings related to establishing the obstacles that hinder the transfer of knowledge from the research centers and institutes of the coffee triangle region of Colombia. This assessment was carried out with a knowledge transfer evaluation model, which was validated and applied to 24 research centers and institutes in that region. For this purpose, an exploratory and correlative descriptive study was considered. The results indicate that the obstacles to an effective knowledge transfer are related with the lack of an organizational culture that allows the transfer, with the ignorance of calls for projects, with the too many required organizational processes, and with the lack of use of information technologies.
This project was designed to assist Marine Corps Installations West (MCIWest) in developing a strategy to reduce its overall carbon footprint, especially greenhouse gas emissions. The project assessed the carbon footprint at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center (MCAGCC) in part to examine potential sources and sinks for carbon to better understand the potential for natural processes to offset anthropogenic emissions. Previous studies have shown that desert ecosystems might be significant sinks for carbon dioxide (CO2). We undertook a multifaceted approach of MCAGCC to determine landcover (composition and cover). We determined that MCAGCC had
