Depreciation ... due to physical causes ... [It] pertains to the physical condition of the structure -- the extent of its worn-outness. It is loss in value ordinarily brought about by the action of the elements, or by the wear and tear to which the property has been subjected, or simply as a result of the passage of time, or by all three. It is usually evidenced by decay, cracking, disrepair, structural defects, etc. For purposes of appraisal analysis, it is most common and convenient to divide physical deterioration into curable and incurable components. 3, record 1, English, - physical%20depreciation

Any perceivable change undergone by a food, through any cause, that renders it unwholesome or unacceptable for use. Spoilage is usually the result of enzyme or microbial action resulting, for example, in lipolytic rancidity, putrefaction, fermentation, or mould growth; but food can also spoil by other means, for example overlong storage, non-enzymic browning, or exposure to air or light. In practice the term is most frequently applied to categorising such deteriorative changes (other than food infection or intoxication) when caused by microorganisms. 4, record 3, English, - food%20spoilage
