Default Analyse noun phrases

Please help me analyse the noun phrases in these below sentences & point out the head as well as the modifiers used in them.

1.In fact most of the early fear about man's health in space have proved groundless.

I think the noun phrase in this sentence is
most of the early fear about man's health in space

most :closed system premodifier (what kind of premodifier is this ?)
early :open class premodifier ,determiner
Fear :head noun
man's :open class premodifier adj
health:open class premodifier noun
in space : post modifier prepositional phase

Is there anything wrong with this ?

I find it hard to analyse these 2 sentences below ,however .Please help me with them .

2. rotation of migrants in covered cages during transportation by car of plane does not confuse them on release.

3.One of the most widespread survey research today is for rating radio and TV programmes.
