We give a simple and direct proof of the characterization of positivity preserving semi-flows for ordinary differential systems. The same method provides an abstract result on a class of evolution systems containing reaction-diffusion systems in a bounded domain of ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ with either Neumann or Dirichlet homogeneous boundary conditions. The conditions are exactly the same with or without diffusion. A similar approach gives the optimal result for invariant rectangles in the case of Neumann conditions.

This paper deals with some types of semilinear parabolic systems with localized or nonlocal sources and nonlocal boundary conditions. The authors first derive some global existence and blow-up criteria. And then, for blow-up solutions, they study the global blow-up property as well as the precise blow-up rate estimates, which has been seldom studied until now.
