COMMENTS
Read backwards, the n-th row of the triangle gives the Hilbert series of the variety of slopes determined by n points in the plane.
From Paul Barry, Nov 25 2009: (Start)
Reversal of coefficient array for the polynomials P(n,x) = Sum_{k=0..n} (C(n+k,2k)*(2k)!/(2^k*k!))*x^k*(1-x)^(n-k).
Note that P(n,x) = Sum_{k=0..n} A001498(n,k)*x^k*(1-x)^(n-k). (End)
Equivalent to the original definition: Triangle of fixed-point free involutions on [1..2n] (=A001147) by number of cycles with adjacent integers. - Olivier Gérard, Mar 23 2011
Conjecture: Asymptotically, the n-th row has a Poisson distribution with mean 1. - David Callan, Nov 11 2012
This is also the number of configurations of n indistinguishable pairs placed on the vertices of the ladder graph P_1 X P_2n (i.e., a path of length 2n) such that s such pairs are joined by an edge; equivalently the number of "s-domino" configurations in the game of memory played on a 1 X 2n rectangular array, see [Young]. - Donovan Young, Oct 23 2018

FORMULA
d(n, s) = (1/s!) * Sum_{h=s..n} (((-1)^(h-s)*(2*n-h)!/(2^(n-h)*(n-h)!*(h-s)!))).
E.g.f.: exp((x-1)*(1-sqrt(1-2*y)))/sqrt(1-2*y). - Vladeta Jovovic, Dec 15 2008
