In this paper, the mechanism of misperception leading retail investors to investment choices,
which are not the most profitable, is studied in a stochastic dominance framework
from a theoretical perspective and supported by an extensive numerical analysis.
The theoretical contribution of the paper consists in the introduction of a specific definition of
stochastic dominance, to capture the effects of an asymmetric trend-type misperception. Such a
novel conceptualization is consistent with the perspective here adopted, i.e. the misperception

We present a new class of photonic devices in which light is confined in channel waveguides, named LC:PDMS, made of a nematic liquid crystal (LC) core in a poly(dimethylsiloxane) flexible substrates. Monte Carlo techniques have been used to study LC orientation. Homeotropic alignment of LC molecules has been observed without any applied electric field. A theoretical study of LC orientation under an electric field between coplanar gold electrodes deposited by electroplating has been carried.

We present photonic devices based on a nematic liquid crystals (NLC) infiltrated in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) channels, named LC:PDMS waveguides, for flexible photonic integrated circuits. A simulation study of the NLC ordering and possible defects under an electric field between coplanar gold electrodes has been carried out by a Monte Carlo approach.
