%N Triangular T(n,k) which contains in column k >= 0 the elements of the Stirling transform of the unsigned sequence Stirling1(j+k,j), j >= 0.
%C The initial array of unsigned Stirling numbers of the first kind (filled with an appropriate number of zeros) starts (see A094638)
%C 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...

%C 1, 28, 322, 1960, 6769, 13132, 13068, 5040, ...
%C The Stirling transform is then applied on each individual column. - _R. J. Mathar_, May 19 2016.
