Summary: Let $A$ be a Banach algebra. We give a new
characterization of the property $A^*=A^*A$, called
the left strong dual factorization property when one assumes that $A$ has a
bounded approximate identity. Without the assumption of the existence of a
bounded approximate identity, we prove that this property implies the
equivalence between the given norm of $A$ and the norm inherited from
$RM(A)$,
the right multiplier algebra of $A$. Secondly, we present a complete
description of the strong topological centres of
$N_{\alpha}(E)$ of $\alpha$-nuclear operators on a Banach space $E$.
Using this description, we characterize the Banach spaces $E$ such that
$N_{\alpha}(E)$ has the left and right strong dual factorization property.
