The attached poster page has a self explanatory introduction of the Unified Mechanics Theory.

Being able to accurately predict the life span of physical bodies, both living and non-living, has been one of humankind’s eternal endeavors. Over the last 150 years, many attempts were made to unify the field of Newtonian mechanics and thermodynamics, in order to create a generalized and consistent theory of evolution of life-span.

I highly recommend this paper to any mechanician who is familiar with the scientific efforst in the last 150 years to unify mechanics and thermodynamics. Sosnoskiy and Sherbakov and several others from the Russian Academy of Sciences listed in the Acknowledgemnsts have achieved it. Congratulations.
